I'll try to start an all-time list, but I'm sure I'll miss some:

Arthur Whittington - Oakland Raiders
Henry Sheppard - Cleveland Browns
Brad Goebel - Phillie and Cleveland
Derek Mathis - Can't remember team
Cody Wallace - current 49er
? Weathersby - Chicago
Clint Finley - Dallas Cowboys
A gentleman from WAY back in the day, Mickey something or another, one of the first guys in the NFL (I know that's lame, but it's the best I can do)
Rodney Pedraza - Fukuama (SP?) professional baseball/Japan
Dale Murray - professional baseball

There was also an Olympic gold medalist pole vaulter who held the world record at one time.

Does Mud Wrestling count? My wife went to Wylie and she spent one full season and part of another one on the "Summer's Eve Professional Big Boned Mud Wrestling Tour". Most of you have probably never heard of it. Mostly in your smaller markets. Her highly anticipated 2nd season was cut short by a freak duck hunting accident. But, she made "quite a splash" in her short carreer.:inlove: :inlove:

To correct myself from earlier, it was Fred Hansen and not Bob Richards. Both were vaulters but Fred was from Cuero.
