A dozen players from area high schools spent time on NFL active rosters during the league’s 103rd regular season.

Offensive linemen again accounted for the lion’s share of snaps, but a couple of defensive players found expanded roles thanks to injuries on their team.

Here is a look at area players and their seasons:

Jordan Hicks, linebacker, Lakota West High School — Minnesota Vikings

The longest-tenured local player had another solid season at the age of 30. The Texas grad started every game for the surprising champions of the NFC North and was credited with 129 tackles, including three sacks, and snagged an interception.

The standout center with three Pro Bowl selections started every game for the Colts in his seventh season out of Alabama.

Taylor Decker, left tackle, Butler High School — Detroit Lions

The Ohio State grad started every game for the Lions for the fourth time in his seven-year career, and he is the longest-tenured member of the team. Although Detroit missed the playoffs, they did post their first winning record since his rookie year.

Josh Myers, center, Miamisburg High School — Green Bay Packers.

Injuries limited the Ohio State product to six games as a rookie last year, but he started all 17 games and did not miss an offensive snap this season for the Packers.

Michael Hoecht, defensive line/linebacker, Oakwood — Los Angeles Rams

Hoecht played in all 17 games and started the last six games on defense for injury-ravaged Rams and was a bright spot. The Brown University alumnus was credited with 36 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in his second season on the active roster.

Joe Thuney, offensive guard, Alter High School — Kansas City Chiefs

Although he missed two games (the first of his career) because of an ankle injury, the North Carolina State product started the last five games and earned his first Pro Bowl selection for the AFC’s top seed.

Aaron Patrick, outside linebacker, Meadowdale High School — Denver Broncos

Patrick made the roster as an undrafted free agent from Eastern Kentucky and played in 12 games with one start in 2021. He played five games this season before suffering a torn ACL in a road game against the Los Angeles Chargers. That cut short his season and led him to file a lawsuit against the NFL, the home team and ESPN as a result of the circumstances.

Adam Pankey, offensive lineman, Hamilton High School — New York Jets

Sixth-year player from West Virginia joined the Jets in offseason and spent one game on the active roster but did not play. He has played in nine games in his pro career.

NOTE: Northridge grad Andrew Ogletree was drafted in the sixth round last spring by the Colts but spent the season on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury in the preseason.
