Not even in football, but in life, the coaches made sure we excelled in class and off of the field as well. I’m very grateful to have gone there in high school and I’m proud to see so many alums in the league today.” NFL players hail from 1,369 high schools in 47 states and the District of Columbia, nine countries and a U.S. territory (American Samoa). The totals are based on the 1,695 men on Kickoff Weekend rosters. “I congratulate the high school coaches that have had the pleasure of molding young men who eventually achieved their dream of playing in the National Football League,” said ROMAN OBEN, NFL senior director of youth and high school football. “More than one million high school players, coaches and parents around the country believe in the benefits of football participation, and we applaud and salute the entire high school football community for their contributions to the game we love.” HIGH SCHOOLS WITH THE MOST NFL PLAYERS High School, City, State Number NFL Players Saint Thomas Aquinas, Ft.

    O.co Coliseum Oakland, California 1 2 3 4 Total St. Louis Rams 3 0 0 0 3 Oakland Raiders 3 6 3 6 18 Disciplined Football The Raiders played clean football in the first half, committing only one penalty for 10 yards. The team finished the contest with two penalties for 22 yards, marking the team’s first preseason game with fewer than five penalties since Aug. 9, 2013 vs. Dallas (four penalties, 35 yards). Stout Defense, Clutch Offense After allowing an opening-drive Rams FG, the Raiders defense held St. Louis scoreless for the remainder of the game including three straight punts in the first half. The Raiders offense moved the chains when it counted, converting on 7-of-11 third downs (63.6 percent). As a result, P Marquette King was only called into action one time, in the fourth quarter. Carr Connects with Cooper and Crabtree WR Amari Cooper, the Raiders’ fourth-overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, hauled in three catches for 22 yards (7.3 avg.) in his first NFL appearance, all from QB Derek Carr, and had four total touches on the team’s first offensive possession. WR Michael Crabtree’s first reception as a Raider was an impressive catch-and-run for 15 yards and a first down. Crabtree added a second reception for no gain. Rushing Attack RB Latavius Murray got the start and turned in an impressive performance in the preseason opener, breaking off a 17-yard run in first quarter. Murray finished the contest as the team’s leading rusher with six carries for 35 yards (5.8 avg.).
