>BLOOMINGTON Authentic Ryan McDonagh Jersey , Minn. 鈥?Facing Gwynn Park High School as a cornerback for Potomac High School in 2010, Ronald Darby slipped and fell to the ground.A Gwynn Park receiver was caught up in a scrum of defenders. Darby figured his foe would get tackled, so he did not immediately get up.Then the opposing wideout broke away with a clear field to the end zone. Darby, now with the Philadelphia Eagles, stood up and sprinted. He caught the receiver 40 yards down field and stripped the ball loose.鈥淒arby had a chance to fall down, cross his legs, look at our kid get in front, get up and catch him,鈥?Gwynn Park football coach Danny Hayes told Capital News Service.Darby鈥檚 speed, which carried him to Florida State University and the NFL, was the main reason he stood out at the Oxon Hill, Maryland school. He was recognized as Maryland鈥檚 second-best class of 2012 football recruit and was one of the fastest high school track-and-field sprinters in the country.鈥淚鈥檓 just naturally fast,鈥?Darby, who still carries around his USA Track & Field backpack from high school Harold Landry Jersey , told a small group of reporters at the Mall of America on Wednesday. 鈥淚t鈥檚 in my genes.鈥漅elated StoriesExperience at Md. high school propelled Rodney McLeod to Super BowlNFL NewsTerp who won Super Bowl with Ravens now an on-field mentor to rising EaglesNFL NewsWhile Darby has endured injuries since then, his quickness helped him earn a starting role in each of his first three NFL seasons, now as cornerback with a team trying to win its first-ever Super Bowl. He鈥檚 recorded three interceptions in nine games this season on a defense that鈥檚 allowed 17 points in its two playoff games.The Eagles play the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Sunday at 6:30 p.m.鈥淒arby is by far the fastest guy I鈥檝e seen in a high school uniform,鈥?Hayes said. 鈥淒arby鈥檚 gonna do what Darby wants to do.鈥滵arby said he always won suicide sprints when he started playing football at eight years old, claiming his quickness came naturally. When Darby was a freshman at Potomac, football coach Ronnie Crump said Darby ran a 4.31 40-yard dash, which led colleges to contact him and Darby every week.Coaches from different colleges bumped into each other at Potomac. Whenever Notre Dame鈥檚 coaches visited Darby, they鈥檇 call him 鈥渘itro鈥?to try to flatter him, Crump said.Crump usually develops plans for his players to try to make the NFL, but Darby was the only player Crump knew would play professionally from his freshman year.The only way Hayes tried to game-plan for Darby, who played running back and cornerback, was to force him into the middle of the field.鈥淵ou can鈥檛 even see Darby when he hits that corner and goes down the sideline,鈥?Hayes said. 鈥淚f you blink, you might have an 80-yarder against you every single time.鈥滵uring Darby鈥檚 sophomore season Authentic John Ross Jersey , Potomac played against Central High School on a muddy field after it had rained all day, so players could hardly run without slipping. The only offense that night came from Darby鈥檚 three punt returns for touchdowns. Crumb said Darby accounted for about 90 percent of the Wolverines鈥?yards in another game against Largo High School, scoring five touchdowns.During the spring, Darby dominated the track, winning the Maryland 3A state championship in the 100 meters, 200 meters and 4×100 relay as a senior. He won a bronze medal in the 2011 World Youth Championships in Athletics, where the top high school track athletes around the world competed in France. Darby was one of six American men selected to represent USA Track & Field in a friendly meet in Japan in 2011.Potomac track-and-field coach Stan Mullins taught Darby a better sprinting technique and improved his knee lift for acceleration, which helped him in both sports.While using the leg press machine in the Potomac weight room one afternoon, Darby鈥檚 hip flexors popped up over his shorts and caught the attention of his teammates and Mullins. Darby had unusually strong leg muscles, Mullins said.鈥淲hen you have a kid that鈥檚 natural like that, the only thing you have to do is point them in the right direction,鈥?Mullins said, 鈥渁nd keep their head straight.鈥滵arby hoped for a longer career by playing cornerback instead of running back in college. But he also wanted to run track for a backup option, which was one of the reasons he committed to Florida State.Darby looked up to former NFL cornerbacks Deion Sanders and Darrell Green Derick Brassard Penguins Jersey , who also ran track in college. He wanted to emulate that speed. But he endured a groin injury entering Florida State, forcing him to focus on football.Darby still won the 2012 ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year. After nabbing two interceptions his sophomore season, he started every game the next year and won the 2013 national championship, a happiness Darby hopes to experience again Sunday.鈥淪uper Bowl will probably be more of a better feeling,鈥?Darby said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 a lot harder than college.鈥滱fter Darby ran the seventh-fastest 40-yard dash at the 2015 NFL Combine, the Buffalo Bills drafted him with the 50th overall selection. He started all 29 games he played in and recorded a pair of interceptions over his two seasons there. In August, the Bills traded Darby to the Eagles for wide receiver Jordan Matthews and a 2018 third-round draft pick.Darby dislocated his ankle in the first game of the season and was carted off the field, missing eight games. Since his return, Darby鈥檚 helped bolster a position group that was one of the Eagles鈥?weaknesses in preseason.鈥淭hat鈥檚 a good thing that it happened early on, rather than later,鈥?Darby said. 鈥淚鈥檓 able to play through the postseason.鈥漈he 5-foot-11-inch, 193-pound cornerback will often play off his receiver, making it appear as if he鈥檚 not tightly guarding, then use his speed to intercept or knock down a pass. Darby will continue to lean on that skill Sunday Jaire Alexander Packers Jersey , when the Eagles face Tom Brady, arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, in the Super Bowl.鈥淗e鈥檚 got it all: Speed, quickness,鈥?Eagles safety Corey Graham said Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson will be honored with the NBA’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the NBA Awards on June 25.

Robertson, the career leader with 181 triple-doubles and the first player to average one for a season, was the NBA’s Rookie of the Year in 1961, MVP in 1964 and won a championship with Milwaukee in 1971. The guard was a nine-time selection to the All-NBA first team and was voted one of the league’s 50 greatest players.

He also was co-captain of the 1960 U.S. team that won an Olympic gold medal and led Crispus Attucks High School to consecutive Indiana state championships, the first all African-American team in the nation to win a state title.

Robertson also was president of the National Basketball Players Association from 1965-74, and the settlement of his anti-trust lawsuit against the NBA – known as the Oscar Robertson Rule – ushered in free agency in the league.

Bill Russell won the award last year in the first season of the awards show, which will be held in Santa Monica, California and be televised by TNT. The winner of the NBA’s MVP and other individual awards will be presented.
