Anybody else out there remember the greatest football/lacrosse player of all time.  If Ricky even comes close to that legend, we are blessed........

While I don't personally remember him, Jim Thorpe would be a contender as well.  This article on the top 10 lacrosse players of all time ranks Thorpe at #9 and Brown at #3: https://laxallstars.com/top-10-lacrosse-...-the-game/

Hmm. Is this - top 10 Lacrosse players being good at football also - coincidence/meaningless, or statistically significant? If Miezan is the #1 player in the country, he'd certainly seem to be in the ballpark of more likely to be good than not, at football, yes?

If nothing else, it speaks to his athleticism, quickness, conditioning, and willingness to deck people (watch his lax highlights good lord). He has the size at 6'3" 235, and he's only been playing football for a year. SCREAMS upside.
