Ummmm, based on UM bias and considering this site includes “Griz” in it’s name, I think Kroy Biermann must be listed above Ryan Leaf.

I never faced McNally but I did play hoops against Dwan in the Absarokee 3 on 3 tournament when he was in 8th grade (and I was 31 or 32). Dwan was darn good then — and refused to lose. Also needs to be in front of Ryan Leaf.kemajic said:

I think Donovan beats him by a nose.
Not sure if this has ever been posted, but this is a great read/watch. Especially if you're from Helena...

I played in that Absarokee tournament at one point against Dwan, Jay Edwards and one of the Fitzgeralds. They all had to have been Jr’s in high school and I think I was about my 3rd year of college. Dwan definitely was not the behemoth he became in college and the NFL.goatcreekgriz said:
That would have been John Fitz; they played together all the way through HS. Joined the three of them at the Mo Club the night before the last Missoula Cat game. Dwan was about 6'3", 225 his senior HS Bball season. Was arguably a better Bball player in HS than football. Erickson saw the potential and grabbed him before the MT schools had a chance. You may have seen that John will coach the East team for the Shrine Game next summer.grizfnz said:

Well I happen to be from Helena & in fact I happened to be on the 880 yard relay team that won in 1971 & Pat was always a humble kind of guy like saying the other 3 guys on the relay team were really fast but I will never forget what he said as a tribute to Ron Banks when he passed away. He said something like this. Out of all the players he was associated with at both Stanford & w/the Dallas Cowboys he never saw anyone stronger than Rob Banks & he was not exaggerating in what he said. By the way Ron Banks played with him at Helena High. I also may have been a little biased when picking Donovan as my #1.

Well, I never met Pat so I will defer. I was a Cowboys fan as a kid and thought it was cool he played so well on their OL.
McNally was obviously older. But having 4 straight 20 win seasons as a MLB pitcher is quite an accomplishment. And I think he is still the only pitcher to hit a grand slam in a World Series game. McNally is solid at No. 2.
Since hometown bias has crept in a bit, I think Marc Mariani belongs on the list ahead of Ryan Leaf. His performance (on the field and on the sideline for the rest of the team) in the 2009 playoff comeback against SDSU was epic and he had a better NFL career (Mariani made the Pro Bowl).
So that’s my pitch for the Havre kid.
