When he officially decides to retire from professional football, Mark Barron may become the mayor of Mobile, Ala.
He may have played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams, Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos, but he carries St. Paul Episcopal High School and the people in the community on his shoulders.
Prior to being a superstar at Alabama and a pro athlete, Barron was a household name for the Saints. He was a star at running back, wide receiver and linebacker in football, leading the school to a Class 5A State Championship in 2007. Barron was awarded Most Valuable Player of the Game and captured individual 5A state titles in track and field.
