When I think about it, so was Beastmode. He was in the class of 2003.A couple More DLS Guys:
Maurice Jones Drew and Demetruis Williams.... Close to 2004....
Which NorCal section has put out the best NFL Players?
- Thread starter FootballJunkie101
- Start date
Defiantly one of the Greatest Ever from "The O"!!!... I thought someone listed him Already...
How about Marcus Peters from MacClymonds.... He is defiantly in the Time-frame...

It's great to learn about players from NorCal that you never heard of and they're in the league. Now when I watch a NFL game I'll look for these players. I forget about DLS's Hooper and he's having a helluva year for the "Dirty Birds".
Marlon Moore- Natomas HS, Drafted by Miami.
(we claim him at Inderkum) he played 4 yrs for our staff and comes around a good amount at Indy.
Great, Great guy! Kid was a hooper thru and thru who we convinced 6.1 SF's don't play in the NBA but they get paid in the NFL.
Side note, his freshman yr, he rarely played. He was a back up HB in the Wing T, 3rd team QB and 5th OLB in a 3 guy rotation. He grew 6 inches in 6 months, dropped 5-6 tenths on his 40 and worked hard in the weight room an believed in us.
That Frosh team was loaded, we had 10 starters transfer out by the end of December-welcome to the Natomas area. I was his OC. Love him to death!

Pro football reference archives a list that looks fairly accurate from what I've seen so far. Probably doesn't include PS players, but only those that were officially in regular season games.

Inderkum has (Vince Mayle) Browns, Cowboys, Ravens, and last year the Chargers. I believe working on getting back with the chargers was injured in camp. (Eric Pinkins) He was with Seattle, Giants, and the cowboys. He is currently on the LA wildcats of the XFL.
