FORMER MART PANTHER QUAN
COSBY
HEADED TO THE CINCINNATI
BENGALS
Ex Centex Standout
Strikes it Big as a Free
Agent
April 27, 2009
– Former
Mart quarterback and University of Texas
wide receiver Quan Cosby will
sign with the Cincinnati Bengals,
according to The
Dallas Morning News.
Cosby caught 92 passes for 1,123
yards and 10 touchdowns this
in the 2008-09 season.
He was not drafted
most likely due to his size (5-9,
196 pounds.) But he
got lots of ESPN airtime as he watched
the draft with
comedian Bill Cosby (no relation.)

Creek's website:
"Ramsey

McPherson College in Kansas and recently
obtained his masters degree in Education
Administration through the University of
Phoenix.
While in Kansas, he
was honored as an All-Conference
offensive tackle for three seasons, and
he played and coached under Steve Kazor,
member of the 1985 Chicago Bears
coaching staff. Danny has been a running
game coordinator, special team
coordinator.
He has coached 34 players who have gone
on to play in the college ranks, with
one making it to the NFL.
For Cy Creek, Coach
Ramsey also called
offensive plays for the JV blue who
were 23-6
under his direction in the last three
years, and he assistant coached
