    Must've been afraid of competing against Rapp for playing time.

    It's no coincidence that most of our NFL players are local players too a lot of the time. In-state is crucial, crucial, crucial until we get good enough to beat USC, UCLA, Furd, UO, ASU, Oklahoma, Michigan for Cali kids consistently.

    In the past 30 years, who were our best players by position? A look at where they're from is sobering:

    QB: Marques, Billy Joe, Jake (1st round!), Brunell, Chandler, etc
    WR: Reggie and Mario
    TE: ASJ, Stevens, Cleeland, Bruener, Pierce
    RB: Dillon, Kaufman, Polk and Sankey
    OL: Olin, Benji, Chad Ward, Lincoln Kennedy
    DL: Stan, Farr, Larry, Danny, Kikaha
    LB: Foster, Butler, Thompson, Hoffmann
    CB: Peters, Trufant, Hall, Bailey
    S: Pahukoa, Smith, Milloy, Parrish, Akbar, Goldson

    There are only 2-3 positions that aren't dominated by PNW guys.

    This is why Amandre Williams, Gilchrist and Evan Weaver are important.

    Since 2002 UW has had 8 players from the state of Washington drafted into the NFL. 5 players from California drafted, and 2 Hawai'i players drafted... Let me cry about the talent drought on the roster... 15 players in 13 years.

    During that time 175 CA kids have signed LOIs with UW, 101 WA kids, 15 CA kids... other states are all in the single digit.

    Fence = Talent

    I can't find a data source past 2010 for kids that went elsewhere, but like Poopsi stated below.

    DeCastro, Schilling, Russell, Banner, Garnett, Mays, Stewart...

    Then some of the under the radar type players that went onto good college careers and got drafted (Nate Burleson, Scott Crichton (not Talia), Brandon Gibson, Xavier Cooper all come to mind).

    And that coincides with Sark/Ty missing a shit ton of talent from in-state that has gone on to the NFL or will go to the NFL.

    DeCastro, Schilling, Russell, Banner, Garnett, etc.

    Good stuff, MrsPetersen, your husband must be proud. I hope he has a good season this year, tell him we appreciate his sideline angryness because it makes for good Gifs by @GrundleStiltzkin.
