Top 10 SETX Football Players Over Last 20 Years


Recommended Posts

Played for Jasper. Has had an extensive NFL career with the Falcons.

Was with Falcons until about a week ago.  Cardinals just signed him to a 1 year deal.

 

But I'm guessing Badsanta was questioning if he belonged on the list.  Let's see...

He played as a true freshman in the Big 12 and then made 1st Team Big12 the next 3 years as a LB.  Voted All-American at Mizzou and was a 1st round draft pick in the NFL.  Is now going in to his 6th season in the NFL.  I think he deserves to be mentioned on the list.  But that's just me.

 

Oh, and Rivals didn't think he was that good of a LB coming out of Jasper.  Shows what they know.

I don't know his stats, but during the game you would hear a lot of names. His was not one of them. He was not physical. He got run over by a quarterback. This is the same guy in the opening kickoff of a game against WB just let the ball sit in the endzone. TOUCHDOWN WB! He may be a very good player, but he did not standout on that team. There were a lot of players on that team who contributed more to their success. Go back and look at some of his teammates. Pay attention to the safeties and LBs. Play an Ozen tape and listen to the announcer. Top 10? I don't think he makes the list if you were just talking about Ozen kids only.

Sure, he could've been showcased more on offense... But on defense, even if the stats didn't show too much, he lined up with the best receivers in our district and took them Away by getting physical with them on the jam at the line of scrimmage and having the recovery speed to break up the pass... Btw, there are no stats for pass breakups....

If you knew what you were talking about, you would know that he only played corner his Fresh & Sr. years.. Yes his Jr. season was statistically his best and he was at Safety...

If Tony is on your list you better add Kimler of Nederland and Rose of png. Saw both light him up

He had an exceptional senior year... Kid was fast, big, and physical and could hold his own against any receiver that he covered..idiot fox jk /quote]ii

Tony Brown is the only person in the state that could come close to checking KD Cannon last year, a couple of times Cannon couldn't even get off the line. You know people in SETX are too close to the situation when they try to put two kids that saw limited time in the Southland conference in a category with the most highly recruited player to ever come out of the area. You have to be able to evaluate the whole situation, luckily Saban was a little better at that than some of the people east of the Trinity.

very well spoken, typed, put.. some go off of their own personal feelings/opinions when it comes to their evaluation of players.. when you evaluate Tony you should keep in mind that he only played CB his Fr. and Sr. b/c of the defensive schemes he played in. Tony played in a zone blitz scheme his soph and jr years from the safety position which was a better fit for the players around him. his sr yr Tony played man to man which is why he is was the top recruit in the state of texas his ability to play man coverage was un matched by any other hs player in the state.. KC Cannon was one of the top 5 WR in the country in their class and tony at times made him look mediocre.. someone keeps bringing up Rose from PNG, good kid no dought but no one has mentioned the 102 yard int return Tony brought back against PNG when they kept trying to force Rose the ball. I mean seriously I think Im gonna go with Nick Saban and his recruiters evaluation of Tony Brown then some qb club board member who couldnt spot talent if it sat at the same dinner table with em

Then why is this thread even up if we can't say opinions on a player?
Tony is a good cornerback and I wish him all the best. The two times I saw him his senior year the WR he matched up with had pretty darn good games.

On another point and not in reference to Tony but college coaches do make mistakes. If they didn't Garrett Gilbert would have won a Heilman and a national championship

Most highly recruited ever?? Based on what criteria?

 

Remember, "ever" is a long time. ;)

    • Tomball takes wild 2nd game 8-6. Both teams had 3 E's. Tomball gave up a late lead but first game pitching star Sampson nailed a 3 run homer to push Tomball to victory. 
    • My understanding is that the falsification of records was the crime that he was convicted of… but for it to have been a felony act, it had to have occurred in the furtherance of another criminal act. The prosecution had to first prove that the criminal act of falsifying documents had occurred. IF the jury believed that records were falsified, they were given three possible criminal acts… any one of the three would allow a felony conviction. The instructions stated that for any of the 34 charges, all twelve of the jurors had to agree that records were falsified, but they also had to believe that the records were falsified in the furtherance of at least one other, different crime. Six jurors could believe that Trump was falsifying records to avoid paying taxes… the other six could believe that it was skirt around election laws. The jurors didn’t have to agree on which of the three alleged criminal acts Trump was trying to further by falsifying records, just so long as they agreed that a) the falsification occurred and that it b) occurred to help him cover up another crime (for which he wasn’t charged and never proven to have committed or to have even occurred, for that matter).     Complete pile of crap as a prosecution, in my opinion.     But, we shouldn’t cry if our nominee is the kind of man who bangs porn stars while his wife is at home with the kid, then tries to buy her silence, then breaks the law in regards to falsifying documents to hide the evidence of the coverup.    If you’re wondering why falsifying those records might be illegal, it’s this. Money paid to your attorney for services performed can be deducted from one’s taxes as a legal expense. If the money is paid to a person to settle a personal claim, then the amount would be taxable-the falsification would have been done to avoid taxation. On the other hand, if campaign funds were spent to pay hush money and the records were falsified to hide the violation of campaign laws, then the felony occurred.    The bottom line is this…. They didn’t have enough evidence to indict trump on any of those three things that allegedly happened… but they DID have evidence that the financial records were falsified, so they point at these other acts which can’t be proven to bump the charges on falsification to a felony.    And the reason Trump didn’t take the stand is that he can’t go on the record about whether or not he had sex with Daniels… I’m certain that they can prove it and hang him up on perjury too.    The most delicious irony is this… Trump gave his supporters too much credit for their integrity. He thought they’d turn on him if they found out what he’d done, when in reality they wouldn’t have given a care… Trump’s whole falsifying records and quest for secrecy wasn’t even needed… his followers don’t have moral objections to his sinful acts.  
    • Wake is about to go from Preseason #1 to the 1st team eliminated 
    • The Republican Party is dying because of folks like you who want to compromise with socialists and folks that proclaim “from the river to the sea” in reference to Israel.  I don’t want a party that folks such as yourself want to save, may as well be democrats, which you apparently are. My standards haven’t changed, yours have.
