Two readers of our website looked at our table showing  13 San Diego Section high school graduates in the NFL and found a couple glaring errors.
The NFL list of 1,696 players also included safety Tony Jefferson of Eastlake and kicker Jason Myers of Mater Dei, which we missed.
We also were alerted  to Larry Warford, but Warford graduated from high school in Kentucky after two years at Oceanside and was not identified as being from this area.
Two great running backs, Cathedral’s Tyler Gaffney and Escondido’s Ricky Seale, are getting paid by NFL teams, but Gaffney is on Injured Reserve with New England, and Seale was a game-day deactivation for Buffalo on opening weekend.
The annual NFL list includes the 32 teams’ 53-man active rosters on opening day.  So Gaffney and Seale, and possibly others, were not acknowledged.
The revised list with 15 names and a Partleton thanks to Greg Durrant, Richard Porter, Â and Deontae Patterson:
Name | Position | High School | Team | Year | College |
Khalif Barnes | T | Mount Miguel | Oakland | 11 | Washington |

GRIZZLIES AND HIGHLANDERS RATE
Mission Hills is 14th and Helix 15th in Division I in Cal-Hi Sports‘Â weekly Top 10.
St. Augustine is sixth and Cathedral 10th in II. Â Rancho Bernardo is on the bubble in II and Christian (III) and The Bishop’s (IV) are other bubble teams.
At the end of the regular season teams will be seeded for the state playoffs, possibly 1-25 from the North and 1-25 from the South.
According to commissioner Jerry Schniepp, the six division champions from San Diego will be invited from the South, along with 13 from the Southern Section and the rest from the L.A. City and Central Sections.
Section divisions will not be in play when the game pairings are formulated.
Levine Toilolo’s name is spelled wrong in the article about NFL players who attended CIF-SDS high schools.
This has been a bad week for me on this story. Levine, all 6 foot 8 of him, deserves and apology. I fixed the misspelling.
The Atlanta Falcons player (who played for Helix High School) is:
80 Toilolo, Levine TE 6-8 265 24 3 Stanford

Yes, I got that one right.
