Shout out to a former DB Indian

I don’t have that number but know several names that either got drafted or made an NFL roster.DB was a quick stop for Darian. I remember when I first found out through one of my sons that he was also going to stop playing for DB.I stepped out of my comfort zone and probably out of my place to talk to him. I told him the D1 teams would walk passed the older players just to talk to him if he kept playing down the road. No matter where that was.All he needed to do was hit those weights and make his grades because an injury could end his career at any time.Someone in his family or at the next school apparently done a tremendous job of getting A similar  message across.That young man from early on had just God given size and talent that very few are born with and you just love seeing that kind of potential develope into greatness. What ever happens with his future , he will always be a part of a Super Bowl Championship winning team.

How many guys has DB sent to the NFL?   I can think of a few but don't have the complete list

Bobby Dodd

Mike Fulkerson Dulaney

Teddy Gains

Gerald Sensabaugh

Coty Sensabaugh

Daniel Kilgore

Malik Foreman

Bob Cifers

Ed Cifers

Denver Crawford

Hal Miller

Darian Kinnard

Should have been: Devaun Swafford (Neck injury at UT)

 

A bunch more that I don't know about because they was on practice teams. I think there was a punter from DB also. 

I am just old and watch local sports.

Hard to count Kinnard since he only spent his freshman year at DB. 
Brandon Ghee played a couple years at DB I believe. He spent time with Bengals. I know his brother Pat, graduated in Kingsport, but I think they moved after that. Both played at Wake Forest. 
the only other I can think of was Ty Hayworth but like Foreman never made the roster just spent time in camps. 
I am sure I missed a few in there but not too sure

One of my favorite DB players was TY Hayworth who also went to Wake Forest. I always said it should be one of the big guys that held the DB strength records. He was the man in the weight room at DB and also at Wake Forest.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
