If you are talking all time, then you need to add a couple of others to the Powell list besides Lee Smith.

 

Lee's Dad, the late Daryle Smith, played for 8 years in the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Cowboys, Eagles, and Vikings, and then played in the CFL for a couple of years after his NFL career was over. Daryle played his college football at UT.

 

John Bruhin, Sr., who also played at UT after graduating from Powell, was a 4th round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Bucs, and was a starter with the Bucs for 4 years before moving on to the Eagles.

Not everyone on that list played, and there may be some undrafted guys that played in the NFL.

 

Some old school others I can think of:

 

Bob Johnson, Bradley Central, 1st player ever drafted by Cincinnati (1969 I think)

Doug Atkins, Humboldt

Bill Bates, Farragut

Eddie Brown, Marion County

Bob and Ed Cifers, DB

Tim Irwin ?? (Knoxville)

Herman Hickman, SH

Yes, all time. List the players from your Tennessee high school that have made the NFL roster and which NFL team it was.

 

I just thought it would be interesting to know. I know there are alot more than has been listed so far. Got to be.

    • Yes this process is moving slower than I would have expected
    • also was told coady auston applied, he served as defensive coordinator for greenfield under don pitt several years ago before going to Obion county  
    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
