Doug was blessed to be truly gifted ballplayer. To this day The Kansas City Chiefs make sure they draft big fullback after see just a glimpse of what Doug could do for the Chiefs running game. Doug worked hard and played hard and nobody had a better genuine laugh the Doug. Inducted the San Marcos High School Hall of Fame a few years before his passing. Until we meet again brother .
