For Tomcat and all NYS football geeks.

This is a great list of all NYS high school players ranked based on their pro careers. So don't be upset Mike Hart isn't ranked higher.

Not sure when this was done, but it is a few years old. Some amazing names on here but not sure how many guys might be missing (Moose Johnson, Rob Gronkowski).

May have missed, but did not see Vinny Testaverde on the list. Definitely rates higher than Bob Avellini imho.

Vinny did a prep year in Virginia after HS. You think they overlooked him?

Mr Avellini, Mr Bob Avellini

It does say guys who finished up their high school careers in NY. Not sure about Moose and Gronk. Also Arthur Jones.

Here is a nice read on Doug Swift. Didn't know he was from Syracuse. Also the author doesn't know how to spell Shula, buts it's interesting on a starter on the 17-0 Dolphins.

Holy cow I just had a flashback. Is this a Monkees reference?

At least one of the Gronkowski's transferred to a school in PA during his high school career.

Daryl Johnston went to Lewiston-Porter High School in western NY. I think Daryl's only other offer was from Cornell.

Also, this list loses credibility with me when it lists Mike Williams in its top 100 NFL players. I recollect he had a short and troubled NFL career.

Bill Bergey?

What's your question. He's on the list and he's from WNY. Also been inducted in the Chatauqua Hall of Fame. As Casey Stengel once said, "You can look it up".

He's #3. Sid Luckman, who, (with Clark Shaughnessy), invented the modern quarterback position and led his team to 4 NFL championships is #4.
