In a state where everything is larger than life, Stamford, Texas, is the complete opposite.
The population is around 3,000. The city is small, only 12.9 square miles, 6.9 of those square miles covered by water. And there are just two stoplights. Yes, two.
One of the biggest attractions fits the area perfectly, the Cowboy Country Museum. It’s also home to the Texas Cowboy Reunion, now in its 88th year as the world’s largest amateur rodeo, and attracting numbers way beyond the population of the city.
When you look at the list of notable individuals who came from Stamford, it’s not long, and they aren’t the names you hear every day.
On that list, though, is someone familiar to the Steelers.
James Washington.
Washington, the wide receiver from Oklahoma State…
