Dallas Cowboys strong safety Jameill Showers was born in the small West Texas town of Alpine, but his football career blossomed in Killeen, TX. He was an honorable mention All-State selection his junior year at Shoemaker High School, but missed his senior season due to injury.
Showers selected Texas A&M but never had a starting opportunity. Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill started Showers freshman year and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel won the job the following year.
Showers eventually transferred to UTEP, where he would finally get his chance to start. Two efficient seasons weren’t enough for Jameill to get drafted.
