Danny Joel Colbert (born December 15, 1950) is an American former professional football player.
[1] A 2013 article from Dallas Morning News concluded that South Oak Cliff High School (SOC) had produced the most talented defensive backs of any single high school in the prior 60 years of Dallas-area football.
To demonstrate their point, they listed 5 players from recent decades: Colbert, along with Egypt Allen, Michael Downs, Alcy Jackson, and Rod Jones.
In 1984, that same newspaper mentioned Colbert while creating an all-time Dallas-area high school all-star team.
One organization concluded that Colbert was one of Tulsa's best football players, all time, at both defensive back and punt returner.
