Who has went pro from your highschool?

Didn't Andy Kelley come from Rhea Co? I think he is still playing Arena football.

With what little I know of Oak Ridge history, I've heard:

 

Stan Fritts - fullback Bengals in the 70's

Mike Caldwell - linebacker Eagles, Bears, Panthers

Jason McAddley - receiver Cardinals

Jerry? Colquitt - quarterback Panthers

Danny Sanders - quarterback drafted by the Jets in the late 70's

One of the Redmonds - several training camps and arena ball

 

This info is unreliable at best. How 'bout a little help from some Wildcat fans?

I have watched Maryville football since the mid 70s. Maryville has had only 1 player play in the NFL in that time frame. Danny Spradlin was that player. Spradlin was a beast. Spradlin played for the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Reggie White played high school ball in Tn not sure where but he went to UT and went on to play for the Packers and is the NFL's altime sack leader (197)

[REBELRON]

Reggie White played at Chattanooga Howard.

[therickbol]

Andy Kelly (QB) from Rhea County, played in late 80's, then played for the UTK Vols. He was on his way to making the Steelers squad as an undrafted free agent and he had an injury (I believe to his thumb). So, instead he went on to become the most proficient passer in the short history of the Arena Football League.

 

Also from Rhea Co. is an Offensive Lineman named Douglas (first name Cody, I think) who played sometime in the 80's and went onto play for the Cinncy Bengals, even winning a Super Bowl ring with one of the Boomer led teams.

From McCallie

 

Ellis Gardner - GA Tech - Academic All-American Football Team from the NCAA- while in college, he played football as offensive lineman and was twice named a member of the . His football career escalated from there, where he became a professional football player for the National Football League (NFL) as offensive lineman for the Kansas City Chiefs, the Indianapolis Colts and the Houston Oilers

 

Ed Smith - Vanderbilt but no Academic All-American - Where'd Ed go after that? Seems like the 'Skins.
