I from Richmond VA, about 45 minutes from curry high school, he was the best high school football player in VA I have ever seen, that includes Allen Iverson, Mike Vick, or Russell Wilson
I knew all about his high school and college days since I grew up in rural northeastern NC and our local news came out of Norfolk, VA so we saw his Hampton Crabbers highlights every Friday night...I went to UNC and was at all of his home games (except his freshman year when I was still a senior in HS) and watched almost all of the others on TV, met him once on campus and talked to him for a few minutes...the UNC football jersey in my closet has the number 1, bought while he was the guy wearing 1...thought I knew everything about him but had never heard about the personal adversity he faced off the field.
Lawrence Taylor, Bruce smith , Alonzo morning, That’s just athletics apparently they have hip hop on lock too. Missy Elliot, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, The rap group clipse too man it’s mind blowing 🤦🏾♂️
As a heels fan curry lived up to the hype for me as player and person. As a young dude he was a faster cam.newton seriously looked long and lanky on the field and short and stocky on the court it was funny how he seemed to grow in football. People dont remember this tho, four offensive coordinators that sucks. Ruptures both Achilles if i remember correctly and still comes back to be the starting pg on top 5 college bball teams and an nfl.wr who made.20 million?? Dude is a legend badass who over came a ton. A ton. Seriously one of the better stories in sports to me. Nfl coach now. Dude made it, always makes me mad that he never gets the credit for over coming
They gave him a shot in training camp 2002...he was pretty horrible, he wouldn't of made it as a pro QB There's footage of it around here of TH-cam, if I find it..I'll post the link in an edit
I remember all the hype about curry at the time and was excited that he committed to uva seeing how so many of are great high school athletes go out of sate. then he changed his mind it infuriated me and routed against him. but I think now it's sad he never lived up to his hype regardless of what school he went to.
in the end though Vick was the real deal and he didn't get anywhere near the anention curry got in high school and Vick stayed in sate going to VA tech!

Greatest athlete I have ever seen in person.
I remember when I first heard he was coming to chapel Hill I was so excited. Injuries and some bad luck derailed things

Great Post. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing this! I have it taped on VHS. My favorite Tar Heel off all time
Wow!! Even Jordan???
186 tds…..damn 🔥
And he was a Wide Receiver in the NFL for the Raiders. ATHLETE.
Oakland Raiders fan checking in. The catch against Denver was even better than Odel's. It was insane! Best catch ever in the NFL!
I remember him being in the USA Today newspaper ATHLETE IN BOTH SPORTS
He went to the wrong school he should have went to UVA or Tech
His mother was in my English class lol
In all fairness Hampton high school had a very stacked team while Vic was playing with Warwick which was not nearly as good
Good friend of mine
We loved him in Oakland!
I wish he play quarterback in NFL instead wide receiver.
They gave him a shot in training camp 2002...he was pretty horrible, he wouldn't of made it as a pro QB

I was there......

Was at UVA when Ronny came to visit in football and bball. We kicked his ass every time. It was awesome.
in the end though Vick was the real deal and he didn't get anywhere near the anention curry got in high school and Vick stayed in sate going to VA tech!
