How good was he?  Playing with 2 other NFL players sons too?  I should have paid more attention to Brophy last year. I will this year.

Brophy wasn't bad last year. It seems they can never win the big games and tend to get outmuscled and beaten in the trenches in those games. Bunch of WR's is great, but they don't block.

Seems like a lot of ex NFL players gravitate to the heat of AZ for retirement.

Pretty confident this is the first time three Arizona teams are ranked in any preseason top 25, and I don't think it's terribly uncalled for.

Not the worst preseason poll I have seen.  Some questions on the GA teams, but not too bad. Missing a couple of Cali schools but we will see some change to it before the season kicks off.

I think in reality the three Arizona teams are more likely top 35 teams but I think there's legit arguments for all three to be where they are.

Add Liberty to give us four in the top 100.

I think there's 4-5 teams aside from this group with as much or more talent than Liberty but there's a level of safety with the Lions that isn't there for those other squads.

Desert Edge is absolutely loaded but might not even have a top 500 schedule.
