The 2 most prominent are Stallings and Jack Pardee who was an All Pro and then coached and invented the "Run and Shoot" at UH as well as then going to the NFL.

Crow was actually not a Junction Boy as he was a Freshman and at that time the Freshman played their own schedule. He is the only Bryant player to win a Heisman though.

He was using the run and shoot before he coached at Cougar High and he was not the one to invent it. It came from some high school coach and was first made popular by Mouse Davis and Portland State in the 70s.

John David Crowe's heisman trophy sits in the entrance of the Paul Bryant Museum. I think the Crowe family donated a copy.

All you Aggies going to the game need to visit the museum.
