Just wanted to give a shout out to NorCal/Antelope HS/Sac State product, Elijah Dotson. Son of former Grant Union Pacer great Robert Dotson. And Jake Browning, the all-time great Folsom Bulldog QB.
Dotson made the Chargers initial 53-man roster today. That, of course, could change at any time. But he's made it for now, which is quite the accomplishment for the undrafted rookie who played 3 seasons at Sac State.
Browning has won the backup job behind Joe Burrow after several years of bouncing around various practice squads. Also quite the accomplishment.
Both are officially NFL players now.
Also, it appears that former Sac State Hornet stars DeAndre Carter and Marte Mapu also made the cut.
As of 3pm, Carter wasn't listed as a cut by the Las Vegas Raiders and Mapu was expected make the Patriots roster as a 3rd round pick. Apparently Mapu has been good in camp and fellow players have lauded his versatility.
That's 4 former Hornets on an NFL roster and 3 former Sac area NorCal HS stars (DaRon Bland is the 3rd).
Please feel free to call out anybody I missed.
