Obscure no more, Slidell native and Tulane alum Matt Forte walks away from the NFL

I wonder what Sean Satchell is up to these days.

Recruiting website 247 Sports ranked the defensive lineman from Cherry Hill, N.J. committed to Temple as the 1,834th best high school football prospect slot in the outlet's overall recruiting list in 2004.

Matt Forte, an unknown fullback from Slidell High School, slid in at the No. 1,835 spot. He emerged from obscurity to become one of the most productive NFL running backs in the last decade.

The 32-year-old Tulane alum announced his retirement Wednesday wrapping up a stellar 10-year career after eight years with the Bears and two seasons with the Jets.
