TOM LANDRY How can anyone forget the "MAN IN THE HAT" who was the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys for 29 years. Not to mention he played semi-pro Baseball in the RGV, HS football for the Mission Eagles, college ball and in the NFL for the New York Giants as well. I know the subject is about Latinos in the NFL and it has twisted to players from the RGV in the NFL. Past and Current deserves the mention here.

Way to go Robert...not only does he speak Spanish, but he also has a heart of gold...His success has brought him many blessings and but few know the sacrifices he has made in life to achieve his goals. Now he reaps the rewards he so much deserves. Go Bears, Go Hoggies, AAAAnnnnddd, Gooooo Cats!

that i know of there are two Rio Hondo's Robert Garza and Port Isabel's Juan Castillo that are hispanic and speak spanish juan may not be a player but he made it to the nfl he is the eagle's offensive line coach. and i also believe if im not mistaken either koy or ty detmer (excuse me if i misspelled the names) are from the valley (mission i believe) that also made it

I know of at least six players from Rio Hondo that played on Junior and Senior College teams between 1940 and 1960. I am sure there are more.

There might be 19 Latinos in the NFL but only two of them speak Sanish and only one is from The Valley and we all know who that is.
