Thompson Getting Positive Reviews as QB

Holy cow. Saw this article this morning on former Sooner QB Paul Thompson. Looks like he is making positive impressions in cheese land.


Two Quick notes on this topic:

  1. name the last OU player drafted by GB to be a success in GB? I can't think of one either. De'Mond Parker flamed out; Torrance Marshall didn't take advantage of numerous chances, and I don't think Darrell Reed, Patrick Collins or Frank Blevins are making the Packers HOF anytime soon. Keith Jackson in the twilight of his career is the closest thing you can find to a Sooner contributing to the Packers, but he was drafted by the Eagles. Of course, PT wasn't drafted either, as the article indicates he signed a free agent contract.

  2. did some internet sleuthing this morning and can't find any evidence that a Sooner QB that completed his eligibility at OU has ever been a QB in the NFL. We can wave the Troy Aikman flag, but he finished his career at UCLA. JC Watts kicked butt in the CFL, winning the Grey Cup MVP his rookie year. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.
