Just out of curiosity, why are Dunbar and Robertson mentioned in the article but Orr isn't? I know you can't sit there and list a bunch of players but Orr might be our most vocal football alum and had the single most successful season out of our most recent batch of NFL players. Could have mentioned him as an AP all pro.

Good luck mr Combs. I believe you will do just fine.

The quote reads:

"UNT has not had a player selected in the draft since 2004, but has seen several of its former players begin successful NFL careers as free agents, including running back Lance Dunbar and linebacker Craig Robertson."

Unfortunately, we've seen Orr's career cut short after only 3 seasons, before it reached its potential.  The quote was on careers, not seasons.

Nope. Looking for name recognition. The Orr family is very well known in Desoto for obvious reasons and Zach Orr is very active on twitter and seems to be well known by area high school football players. Mentioning Orr would be more meaningful than Dunbar to most general football fans out there.
