I heard he is the only football player to ever win a national championship on the High School, College and Pro(NFL) level. Can anyone verify or disprove this?
Good question. Do not know about Doss.
To augment that question, who in the NFL today would be added to that list should their team win the Super Bowl? I know of only one, but there must be more:
1. DJ Williams - Denver Broncos

Huh? There are three McKinley Senior High Schools in Ohio alone, four if you count Columbus Linden-McKinley. Not to mention McKinley Senior High Schools in New York, Louisiana, and Hawaii.
But he did attend THE Ohio State University.

Mike Doss was a beast in HS. I knew that he would make it far.

I'm not sure what brought this on but, Consumerman, you are a hoot!
just a pre-emptive post for what is surely your true feelings and out-of-whack with reality
but that won't count according to SLC Dad
Since Consumerman insists on putting words in my mouth and starting a debate, I'll add my true feelings on his points. His comments do not reflect what I've posted nor what I believe.
cuz
1) DLS is no good anymore (DLS hasn't been a national top 10 team in the final rankings since 2003. Some years they haven't made the top 25. Since the new philosophy at DLS is to limit the number of grants given to football players, it appears DLS will have a tough time getter back to national prominence. I'm wondering if it will ever happen. I saw a Calif pre-season ranking and DLS was listed as the #7 team in Calif. That's still a very, very good football team.)
2) anything that happened in HS football prior to 2004 does not register as meaningful (I'd rather talk about the current season or current programs above the past any day. However, I know the DLS faithful love to dwell on "the streak" and the glory days of a few years ago. Good for them. I don't know where Consumerman gets the 2004 number but people usually look at 2002 and later when discussing SLC since that is the year they moved up to the Texas 5A classification and first entered the national picture.)
3) DLS #1 national ranking(s) is (Are) tainted because they dont have playoffs in which 3-7 and 5-5 teams dot the landscape making 2 watered down divisions look like a mighty 6 rounds of playoffs (I don't believe that the DLS #1 rankings in the past are tainted. However, I do believe that the streak would have likely been broken much sooner if DLS had to face a state championship tournament bracket like they have in Florida, Ohio or Texas.)
4) Canyon in 2006 beat a less than stellar DLS team on their worst game of the year so anything that DLS has previosuly accomplished is meaningless. (DLS was rated #1 by USA Today before that game. Prior to that game Consumerman himself was debating how good the 2006 DLS team was. DLS had a chance to prove the naysayers wrong but they failed. Consumerman says they played their worst game of the year. He fails to mention that Canyon threw 2 or 3 interceptions in the 2nd half but DLS couldn't capitalize on them. DLS had every opportunity to win that game. As I watched the game, I thought the key was that DLS didn't have an answer for the Canyon running back. It's a cop-out to say it was the worst DLS game of the season, IMO. DLS just wasn't good enough.)
isnt that it daditis? (If anybody thinks my statements don't make sense, let's talk.)

I was at the Elder game and the Canyon Country game.
DLS definitely looked worse at the Canyon Country game to me.
If they were a better team, their worst game might still have resulted in a win (they came pretty close as it was; the two stops in a row with the score 20-13 were a killer).
If they hadn't played their worst game, there is an excellent chance they would have won (if they had played like they did against Elder, it would have been over early, like the Elder game was, even though CC was better than Elder).
Knowing that their worst game still came relatively close to winning a state championship is helpful, if you are trying to determine how good DLS was last year.
And knowing they lost the game, no matter how, is important, too, obviously.
None of this is a cop-out. It's just information. And it doesn't change the score.

the 4 preemptive posts by me referencing SLC Dad wa to see how ridiculous his arguments and logic is
NOTE a 2006 DLS WIN OVER CANYON DOES NOT VALIDATE ANYTHING DLS DID IN 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 or 2003
that is fool's logic
LIKEWISE, a LOSS by DLS in 2006 to Canyon DOES NOT INVALIDATE anything DLS accomplished 1992-2003
to argue otherwise, as daditis does, si again foolish
as for the Canyon game, DLS missed extra points, had field goal attempts blocked, could not convert on 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 on the Canyon 5 yard line with the score 20-13 (99 times out of 100 they convert the TD), had a tipped pass result in the 1st Canyon TD, had a near sack (great play by the Canyon QB) result in the second TD... this is not the DLS I am used to or even as good as the one that played all year, they laid an egg
the point of my original post was to show how ridiculous SLC Daditis' bashing of DLS is
and notice he did not address the watered down 2 tiered playoffs that allow 3-7 and 5-5 teams in the so-called awesome (what oa joke) Texas playoffs

He is not the only player to do this.
Just looking at the Indianapolis, Pittsburgh and New England rosters (past three superbowl champions), there are about 8 players that were on national championship college teams. As best as I can tell, Cedric Wilson (Pittsburgh) won a title in the NFL, College (Tennessee) and High School (Melrose HS in Memphis).

Not really that simple. Tennesse was crowned national champions by Litkenhous, an apparent ranking system at the time. Tennessee lists it on their historical website as a national championship year. One of those split championships college football is so famous for without a playoff system.
Following were the 1967 National Champions from the NCAA website:
1967
Notre Dame: Dunkel
Oklahoma: Poling
Southern California: AP, Berryman, Billingsley, DeVold, FB News, Football Research, FW, Helms, Matthews, National Championship Foundation, NFF, Sagarin, UPI
Tennessee: Litkenhous

Not sure. Only know they were State Champions. As there is no high school playoff system, they have as good a claim as anyone. Please see the 1967 National Champions in football above which was a no brainer to you. But as Justafan noted he thought the topic was Super Bowl, NCAA D-1A champions, and State Champions. My guess is no poll or ranking service had them as a hypothetical high school national champion.
As I have stated previously, there is no school that can prove they were the best football team in the nation including DLS during their undefeated streak or SLC during their current streak. I think you can identify the cream (which both of the teams were/are) but not which of the cream teams is the best.

While I might agree with you that USC was in my opinion the best team in 1967, but I am just reporting the facts. The NCAA & University of Tennessee both show Tennessee has a claim to the 1967 National Championship. You stated Tennessee had never won a national championship and I listed 6 years that Tennessee claims at least a share of the national championship on their website.
I think it is similar to USC claiming in 2004 that it had a share of the 1939 National Championship to get to 11 based upon Frank G. Dickinson ranking system.

I don't think Consumerman can grasp the difference between "average SOS" and the SOS using the best opponents. Adding more teams/games to a playoff bracket makes the bracket harder not easier. However, I doubt Consumerman can comprehend that.
The following is a SOS rating for the large school state champs from Florida, Ohio, California and Texas. I included both 5A and 6A from Florida since the 5A champ, Lakeland, was national #1 team in several polls.
Also, since the states play a different number of playoff games, I adjusted the average playoff SOS rating for 4, 5 or 6 games whenever possible.
Lastly, the SOS ratings for Florida make sense. In Florida, unlike most other states, the top teams are spread more throughout many lower classifications and are not concentrated in 5A and 6A.
The single toughest playoff opponent was Colerain who was defeated by Hillard Davidson in the Ohio Division 1 semifinals. Canyon's victory over DeLaSalle and SLC's victory over Trinity were also wins over very highly rated teams.
As a side note, SLC's 2006 playoff run was the easiest of the last three years.
Average Playoff SOS of the State Champs from Selected Football States:
#1 - Southlake Carroll - Texas 5A Division 1
.........Top 4 Playoff Opponents: 49.3
.........Top 5 Playoff Opponents: 47.3
.........Top 6 Playoff Opponents: 43.3
#2 - Hillard Davidson - Ohio Division 1
.........Top 4 Playoff Opponents: 45.3
.........Top 5 Playoff Opponents: 40.6
#3 - Cedar Hill - Texas 5A Division 2
.........Top 4 Playoff Opponents: 44.6
.........Top 5 Playoff Opponents: 42.2
.........Top 6 Playoff Opponents: 39.5
#4 - Canyon Country - California
.........Top 4 Playoff Opponents: 42.9
#5 - Northwestern - Florida 6A
.........Top 4 Playoff Opponents: 32.3
.........Top 5 Playoff Opponents: 30.2
#6 - Lakeland - Florida 5A

By the way I think you need to tell Tennessee to change their media guide - http://www.utsports.com/index.php?s=%%%s%%%&change_well_id=2&url_channel_id=15&url_article_id=10086
While you are at it, please have USC eliminate the 1928 & 1939 Championships from their media guide. Georgia Tech & Texas A&M may take exception to sharing their titles.
Lets take Texas for example.
A team that wins Texas 5A small school (which is what SLC did in 2002, 2004 and 2005) CAN NOT even claim to be the best in their own division, as the LARGE SCHOOL 5A Division has separate playoffs.
A team that wins its state but has 4 losses, like CLeveland St. Ignatius one year, would have a hard time campaigning as national champion.
Your argument is FULL of flaws.

It may have major flaws, but so do every argument that a high school team is national championship.
Are you saying the size of a school determines the quality of a team? No one in Texas likes the split division system, but it is much preferred over some other state's methods on the West Coast. I quess we can say they are both imperfect. Texas is looking at modifying its system. How is California coming along on fixing their playoff system?

thanks to all of you for abandoning the LUDICROUS argument that Tenessee was national champ in 1967
absolutely ludicrous
Do you always argue with people...even those who have no interest in an argument? I never said, nor do I care, that Tennesse was a national champ.
In case if you haven't noticed, the topic of the thread is Mike Doss; the question was whether any other player has won a national championship at the high school, college and pro level. I did a little research to try to answer the question. I made a mistake, and admitted it back on page one, when I said that Cedric Wilson had done so.
I don't care about Tennessee, I don't care about USC. I'm not interested in an argument. I was just trying to answer the question. :dang:
