Re: Two NFL 9.3 Men

Was it:

Southern Cal w/ Earl Ray McCullough, O.J. Simpson and Edesel Garrison (not sure the latter ever made a reg. season NFL club)?

SF CC w/ Simpson and Matson?

The Vols had Gault and Flowers.

BCB

No Olympians or 9.3 guys there for USC.

Flowers was a 13.3/9.4 guy.

SC

I guess O.J's undergrad PB was 9.4 (thus the famous Rose Bowl call by an excited Curt Gowdy during a breakaway).

Two NFL 9.3 Men

Do you mean in school at the same time, or period?

(is Isaac Curtis one of the two, by any chance)?

Re: trivia

1.What college had two Olympic sprinters and two 9.3 guys also, in the NFL? Who were they?

Arizona State with Olympians Henry Carr and Ron Brown. My guess is JD Hill or Darryl Clack as the other 9.3 NFLer along with Carr.

Paul Robinson of the old AFL's Cincinnati Bengals was the 400h/1000 yard man.

26 foot NFL long jumpers would also include Paul Warfield, James McAllister, Vance Johnson, Eric Metcalf and the late Ron Jessie.

Picked up by bijanc -
Roberson
Lofton

and by Cullman -
Warfield
McAllister
V.Johnson
Metcalf

Ron Jessie jumped (from memory 25'10 3/4 legally and 26'4 3/4w)

Others are
Johnny Hector - Texas A&M/ny jETS
Latin Berry
Donald Dykes

Next closest I could pick up were
Mel Gray (I think he did 25'11 3/4 in 1970)
Champ Bailey 25'10 3/4

Very good question Texas

MORE: Frank Wykoff (Glendale), Mack Robinson (Pasadena), Clyde Jeffrey (Riverside), Hal Davis (Salinas), Erwin Miller (Fullerton)

JCers you didn't have...

Millard Hampton and Ato Boldon from San Jose City
Brian Lewis and Henry Neal from Blinn
Warren Edmonson from Merritt
Willie Deckard...Pasadena City

I didn't know Boldon went to a JC before UCLA, did he ever run the JUCO champs?

Hampton, Edmonson and Deckard I should have known...Lewis and Neal I omitted as not being world class!

Has any male 100m runner won JUCOs and then gone on to win NCAAs? I could probably find out if I dug around enough but am hopeful that someone can answer that off the top of their head!

First time I saw Ato run (Fresno) he wore the shave head look as a SJCity 200m man. As far as I know he never ran in that JUCO meet.

Lewis ran on the Olympic 4x1 team, so he's definately world class. Neal was a sub10.10...hmmm?

Not sure about that JCer champ/NCAA champ. Bernard Williams? Anyone know?
