I figured there were more CCS guys. That's why I left it up to those of you posters that know more about the section. The CCS is not my strong suit but I try. :)

The original post limited the list to NorCal players from the last 15 years.

I was gonna say the same thing. Reading is fundamental ;)

All kidding aside, I can see the confusion. The title didn’t imply a time limit and his post suggested it was only his list that was from 2004 on.

In other words, the NFL world began 15 years ago. Pardon me while I take another long swig of my cheap CVS vodka and tonic and scream into the dark, dark night.

Not at all. This was meant for NorCal HS football players from 2004 to present that went on to play in the NFL. Don't let this stop you from taking a swig of your Vodka my friend.

Terron Ward's career has always been cool to follow. Came on late in the recruiting process and was a borderline NFL prospect coming out of college. Just kept grinding and made it farther than a lot of guys in his class.

The SF Comical had an internet list of 431 Bay Area guys who have played in the NFL since 1985. And the list was incomplete. So, going back to the NFL's debut, we can estimate that total number at, perhaps, more than 700 over time.
