You'd have a lot more if you'd add former NFL players to the list- and I think you should- starting with LeCharles Bentley and Joe Jurevicius.

BTW, and only because he's related to my nephew's future fiancee- Jason Trusnik (Nordonia)- LB- is still on Miami's roster. 🙂

Well, see my comment in an earlier post. If we did former NFL players we could go all the way back to the beginning of the NFL. In fact, how about this lineup:

QBs: Benny Friedman (Glenville), Len Dawson (Alliance)

HBs: Cliff Battles (Kenmore), Marion Motley (McKinley)

FBs: Larry Csonka (Stow), Clark Hinkle (Toronto...over on the river)

WR: Dante Lavelli (Hudson)

WR: Paul Warfield (Warren Harding)

OL: Dan Dierdorf (GlenOak)

OL/K: Lou Groza (Martin's Ferry)

OL: Bob Brown

OL: Tom Mack

OL: Mike Michalske

(the above 3 are all from Cleveland, but I don't know what High School they attended)

DL: Alan Page (Canton Central Catholic)

DL/P: Pete Henry (Mansfield)

MLB: Jack Lambert (Crestwood)

Coaches: Paul Brown (Massillon), Chuck Noll (Benedictine), Don Shula (Grand River)

Every one in the HOF. It includes a complete offensive team (except a TE). Not quite as many on the defensive side...though Michalske played both ways, as his career was in the 20s/30s.

If we were to do a "Greatest All Time NE Ohio team", this is certainly a start. An entire offense.

Who would you choose to fill in those defensive holes?

Counts if he is still on a roster.

Oh, never mind. I believe the Jags cut him and he's a free agent now.

Kelly Herndon (CB) played for Seattle and Denver played at my Twinsburg High School.

From wikipedia:

His most notable performance was in Super Bowl XL playing for the Seattle Seahawks, Herndon intercepted a Ben Roethlisberger pass, returning it 76 yards, establishing a new Super Bowl record.

Is he still in the NFL? I am looking for players currently on NFL rosters. (If we wanted to do ex-layers we could go back to Marion Motley and Paul Warfield...or Cliff Battles or Beny Friedman from the 1920s/30s)

But: add DeLone Carter, RB from Copley. Now on Colts?

Reggie Corner, CB Jags, Canton McKinley

Nate Clements, CB 49ers, Shaker Hts

Joe Morgan, WR Saints, Canton McKinley

Mike McGlynn, OL...not sure what position, Colts, Austintown Fitch

Note: Bill Belichick slammed the hammer down on St. Ignatius and Glenville this year. He released Brian Hoyer and Tony Gonzales, both from Iggy, and Pierre Woods from Glenville

...but he apparently still has the QB from GlenOak on the roster.
