Pierre Garcon was not highly recruited out of JI Leonard High School in Palm Beach County.  He started his college career at Norwich University in Vermont before going to Division III powerhouse Mount Union in Ohio. Garcon was a sixth-round pick of the Indianaplois Colts — where he became a target of Peyton Manning. Garcon spent four seasons with the Colts before signing a free-agent deal with Washington, where he set a franchise record with 113 receptions in 2013. Garcon spent 11 seasons in the NFL, ending with 7,854 yards and 38 touchdowns.

He went to John I.  Was actually a much better soccer player than he was a football player in high school.  He was an undersized TE that played in an offense that rarely if ever threw the ball.  Everything he accomplished was due to his incomparable work ethic.

I assume he was Haitian American?

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
    • Are you still talking to me??  Thought I was pretty clear for you not to waste your breath on this subject matter, but somehow you are missing the point.  Teacher unions have limited power in FL because the candidates they overwhelming support keep losing.  If they had won, the teacher union vote had a lot to do with it and would be wielding that power.  Osceola county which isn't a GOP stronghold during the past two national elections had the journalism students for the OHS monthly newsletter (Kowboy Jake) interview the faculty as to their political leanings.  A sample of about 30 teachers that were interviewed were voting as follows:  25 D vs 5 R.  Enough said.  
    • You missed the point of my union post. Teacher unions in strong union states have power. Florida unions have zero. They cant strike and the school board can implement a contract without the unions approval. Florida unions are not preventing any raise in Florida. The state has attacked a straw man here.
