“No matter where you play, if you have the talent, somebody will find you” (football adage)

“No matter where you play, if you have the talent, somebody will find you” is a popular football adage. It often helps to go to a major college football program, but the NFL always notices talent, especially natural talent such as speed and strength.
 
“It just goes to show that if you have the talent, no matter where you play…they will find you” was cited in print in 2001.
