Best Player You Ever Played Against

[Coach9]

Not a teammate.


I have two.


Charlie Young Edison High School.


Dwayne Crump Madera High School.


Charlie went on to USC (they called him, The Tree) and the next level as well.  He could palm a full size dinner plate and dunk a basketball flat footed. Charlie hit me so hard one time when I finally could open my eyes, I was looking out my ear hole.


Crump had the best hands I had ever seen at that time. City/County Game, ball thrown on the wrong side of Crump, he reaches behind himself with his off hand and flips the ball over his shoulder and catches it, touchdown.



Thought maybe we needed to talk about some positive, fun times, and not dwell on the negative.


Anyone....

Bo Jackson - because he was Bo (we actually won that game).

Jim Lachey - OG Ohio State 85' - First Rounder to the Chargers (ProBowl second year I think). 6'5" 295, ran a 4.8, and was really damn good as well.

Not saying he was the TOUGHEST guy i played against, but back in 1978, i was a soph, and got to play a few plays at the end of the game against VERNON BROADNAX, from Xenia, OH(not the tornadoes, but we called them that after the tornado killed 120 people or so in 1974)  SPorts illustrated wrote him up as the largest football player in america.  At that time, he was 6'6, 415 lbs.   I played three plays against him.  Game was already over, so i didnt really go at him(or away from him) but we had 2 Division I all state TACKLES on our team, Rob Taylor(Northwestern, and 12 years with the TB Bucs and KC Chiefs) and Jim Schuman(Ball State, NY GIANTS) who double teamedhim all game and didnt move him an inch.  That was ONE BIG DUDE.  I tackled his BRO, Vaughn Broadnax, 2 years later(Ohio State, then busted in NFL)  Dude was a fullback in HS, 6'3, 250 lbs, and he crumpled my legs aka Lorenzo Neal used to do.
