I am 55 years old. Been keeping up with Maryville Rebels Football since I was 10 years old. I was not born when Knox Ramsey or Jim Cowboy Hill was playing at Maryville.  Only player at Maryville I ever seen that made it to the NFL was Danny Spradlin. I think Carl Stewart was a practice player. There is no doubt in my mind if Aaron Douglas would have lived he would be playing NFL Football right now.  

 

To me it is amazing that Maryville has had all this success without a  ton of High D1 athletes and NFL players.  Amazing what great coaching can do. The truth is Maryville has never had a Peyton Manning or Eric Berry type player.

I was really surprised that Jay Guillermo didn't make it to the pros especially after being on a National Championship team and being All-ACC his senior year as a center. But then again what do I know, I'm a dog.

Jay won his before they put up billboards.

Jay retired and never entered the draft because of multiple injuries.
