Who Is This FL HS Legend? Pierre Garcon/JI Leonard

[OldSchoolLion]

Who is he?

Where did he play in high school?

With what NFL team did he set a all-time team record?

[Perspective]

Oui, oui, Monsieur.  I think I know this one. 

Pierre Garcon

John I Leonard High School

Team record 107 catches for the Redskins in 2013 (one more than Art Monk).

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.
