Happy birthday to former Norman, University of Oklahoma and NFL receiver Ryan Broyles, born on this day in 1988 in Oklahoma City. Broyles was an All-District and All-State selection as a defensive back in 2006 after making 73 tackles and six interceptions. He earned The Oklahoman's Big All-City Defensive Player of the Year honor. Broyles also had 44 catches for 908 yards and 20 total touchdowns on offense. He was also a standout track and field and basketball athlete at Norman. He signed with the University of Oklahoma and as a redshirt freshman, he set the freshman record with 141 yards on seven catches in the Sooners' 52-26 win in the 2008 season opener against Cincinnati. Broyles had a freshman record 687 yards and scored six touchdowns in 2008. In 2009, Broyles was named second-team All-Big 12 after catching 76 passes for 964 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was named Sun Bowl MVP after catching 13 passes for 156 yards and three touchdowns against Stanford. He earned first-team All-Big 12 and consensus All-American honors as both a junior and senior. As a junior, he caught 131 passes for 1,622 yards and 14 touchdowns and was in the middle of another great season as a senior before an ACL injury in early November. He still finished his career with the FBS all-time record of 349 receptions and holds the Sooners' all-time record with 4,586 yards and 45 touchdown catches. Broyles was selected by the Detroit Lions in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft and was the team's Rookie of the Year after making 22 catches for 310 yards and two touchdowns. In three seasons with the Lions, Broyles appeared in 21 games, caught 32 passes for 420 yards and two touchdowns. He asked for and was granted his release in 2015. After football, Broyles returned to Norman and has been involved as a real estate developer. Happy birthday Ryan! #tdfn #okpreps @RyanBroyles @nhstigerfb @OU_Football
