Isidore Newman School and the NFL

Post by JohnStOnge »

Isidore Newman School is a AA school in the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA). By LHSAA classification, AA schools are those with enrollments in the range 234 - 424 students. Not big.

With Odell Beckham Jr. being taken as the 12th overall pick in the first round this year, Isidore Newman now has three players on NFL rosters. All three were taken in the first round. The other two were number 1 overall picks. They're the Mannings.

I wonder if there has ever been a time in NFL history when a high school that small can point not only to three alumni in the NFL but also to three alumni who were taken in the first round of the draft. Heck, I wonder how many high schools of ANY size can say they've had three alumni taken in the first round of the NFL draft and/or two taken #1 overall.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
