Bengals QB Andy Dalton credits Katy background for success

For prolific Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, his background at Katy High School was the launching pad for him becoming an eventual two-time Pro Bowl passer.

As a senior in his lone full season as the starter, he passed for 2,877 yards, 42 touchdowns and 15 interceptions and was named The Houston Chronicle Greater Houston Area Offensive Player of the Year and earned a scholarship to TCU.
