The Detroit Public School League has forever been a hotbed for elite high school football talent in the state of Michigan, especially over the last tens years or so. With programs like Cass Tech, King, Crockett, Renaissance and Southeastern being the best the city had to offer, it wasn't hard to find a future NFL player on either one of these teams. So who was the best? I take a look at the top ten football players of the last ten 10 years, from 2006-2015, in the PSL. Enjoy!

1.Detroit King 2008 DE-LB Nick Perry: Why is Perry numero uno? His 36 sacks his senior season as a Crusader, after transferring from Makenzie, is still a state record, and will probably never be broken. He also racked up a whopping 147 tackles, and was an absolute terror on the field at 6-4, 235-pounds. King was already the cream of the crop in the PSL during that era, and his arrival helped put them over the top, capturing the league's first football state title ever, in 2007. He went on to star at USC, and was drafted in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers, where he still currently plays. Perry was ranked a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, and No.56 nationally.

2.Detroit Crockett 2006 LB Brandon Graham: Much like Perry, Graham was a man amongst boys, with his NFL-ready body, at 6-2, 250-pounds or so. The greatest Crocket Rocket ever, as much as Graham was intimidating, he had the game to match. In his junior year, he tallied 135 tackles and 20 sacks, which is video game numbers. Physically gifted kids like Graham don't come along that often, so he was truly one of a kind. He was a second-team All-American in 2009 in college, at Michigan, before being drafted by his current team, the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010, 13th overall. Rivals.com deemed Graham a five-star recruit in 2006, and No.15 in the nation.

3.Detroit Cass Tech 2015 RB Mike Weber: Some say he's the best running back from city since Jerome Bettis carried the ball for Mackenzie back in the day. The 5-10, 225-pound Weber was unstoppable in his high school career, rather it was running past you for a long touchdown run, or running right over kids, like he occasionally would do. Weber ran for a career-high 403 yards in a state playoff game last year, and finished his career at Cass Tech with over 5,000 yards rushing, and over 50 touchdowns, and one state title (2012). He was an all-state Dream Team selection and signed on to play at Ohio State in the fall.

4.Detroit Southeastern 2010 DE-LB William Gholston: His nickname was "Too Tall" and at 6-7, he was too good for his opponents in at the high school level. Gholston looked like a created player on field, doing whatever he wanted along the defensive line, and chasing down running backs as a linebacker. Certainly one of the best athletes the city has seen in cleats, for what he was able to do at his size. He recorded 115 tackles and 27 sacks as a senior, leading the Junagleers to a 10-2 record. Gholston was a three-year starter at Michigan State, and now plays for the Tampa Buccaneers, being drafted in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He has five-star status in 2010 by Rivals.com, and No.21 overall.

5.Detroit King 2012 RB Dennis Norfleet: You don't rush for 254 yards and five touchdowns in one game on the almighty Brother Rice. No one does. But Norfleet did, as a sophomore in 2010! He was only 5-7, 170-pounds, but he was all muscle, shifty as they come, and had speed for days. When you went to go see "Fleet" play, you had better brought your popcorn with you, because he put on magic shows running and returning the ball. He rushed for over 5,000 yards and 78 touchdowns at King, and was just as good on the hardwood. Norfleet committed to Michigan in 2012, and still there, as their all-time return yardage leader. In 2012, Rivals.com gave him three-star status, No.236 in the nation.

6.Detroit Murray-Wright 2006 WR Dominique Douglas: There have been a few "forgotten" players over the years in the PSL, and Douglas tops the list. Unless you're a diehard football fan, you won't remember how scary good Douglas was. He was 6-1, 175-pounds, and played wide receiver, quarterback, and defensive back, and dominated at all three positions. He caught 85 balls, for over 1,011 yards, and 17 touchdowns in 2005, leading his team to a dominant city title win over King that year. He also intercepted 22 passes for Murray-Wright in his career there. Douglas signed with Iowa football, and was a three-star recruit by Rivals.com in 2006.

7.Detroit Renaissance 2011 LB-DE Lawrence Thomas: Another one of those physically imposing DE/LB types like Nick Perry and Brandon Graham, Thomas was hard to hide on the field at 6-4, 232-pounds and you couldn't hide from him. He was way too big and strong for blockers, fast enough to chase down quarterbacks and running backs, and could lay the wood to anyone. Nicknamed "L.T.", Thomas had 85 tackles and nine sacks as a senior, and was the No.1 player in the state that year. Thomas is currently a senior starter at Michigan State, and was a five-star recruit by Rivals.com in 2011, N0.55 overall.

8.Detroit East English Village Prep 2013 DB-RB Desmond King: His team needed some yards, so King played running back. They needed a turnover, he went to play cornerback, and would get an interception. Want to talk about playmakers? King was that, and some, on both sides of the ball. He starts at defensive back for Iowa now, but easily could have played running back in college. He rushed for 2,360 yards, and 33 touchdowns as a senior at East English Village Prep, and set a state record, with 29 career interceptions, being named to the all-state Dream Team as well. King was given a three-star recruit status by Rivals.com in 2013.

9.Detroit King 2014 WR-DB Avonte Maddox: He only played two years of varsity football, but they were some special two years. Maddox was literally a threat to score the ball whenever he touched it, and there was nothing you could do about it. The true definition of the athlete category, at 5-9, 165-pounds, Maddox was awesome at wide receiver, Devin Hester-like at returner, and could shut down any wide receiver. His 4.3-forty speed, and elusiveness reminded you of Dennis Norfleet, and so does is 35 catches, for 956 yards, and 14 touchdowns, along with 717 rushing yards and four scores, as well as four interceptions as a senior. Maddox was an all-state selection, and now play at Pittsburgh. Rivals.com gave him three-star status in 2014.

10.Detroit Cass Tech 2007 OL-DL Joseph Barksdale: Able to block anything on the offensive line, and unblockable on the defensive side of things, you'd be hard-pressed to fine a two-way lineman as good as Barksdale was in the PSL. He had the size at 6-7, 323-pounds, footwork, and agility to be an elite lineman, and did just that. Rivals.com rated Barksdale as a four-star recruit in 2007, No.67 overall. He played on LSU's national title team in 2007 as a freshman, and went on to be a three-year starter for the Tigers. Barksdale was drafted by Oakland Raiders in the third round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and is currently a free agent
