More HOF's than any State but don't use that as a guide for performance. TX 30 CA 19 FL 11 GA 9. Not really close and yes you have been playing football b4 the 80s because Deacon Jones is a member. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably has something to do with demographics 🤷♂️ . Oh look 👀Mississippi and Alabama are similar to Louisiana and beast Texas too. Didn't a 3nd year bEast Texas kid named Mahomes II win the Super Bowl Yep not much to show at all. 2nd Youngest winner in NFL History. He made the NFL Defenses Big 12 quality 😎 damn near half the league has a TX kid at QB. The only quarterback in history to throw for over 5,000 yards in a season in both college and the NFL. Don't forget he threw 50tds one year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of kids last year went early and a bunch of players this year stayed. Don’t know how Bama keeps kids like Leatherwood from entering. Bama, UGA, and Clemson have some magic ability to keep kids another year that would easily get drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually what it means. It means they're on "old" state that merely had a lot of Hall of Fame caliber players many, many years ago. That's what it means. Texas has been far behind Florida in producing NFL draft picks and NFL stars for years and years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have Swampnutzzz coming after you. I mean.. forget the fact that he lived in Houston since he was 6 and played Pop-Warner, Junior High and High School (3 years) and Senior year at IMG. He was basically born in Louisiana so he is a Louisiana kid.😀 Houston is off the mf'n chart for players. For about 40 straight years them and Miami have been at the top for single city output to the NFL - Miami having the 1 spot and Houston the 2 but it looks like that changed this year, NOLA and Jacks, FL are always in the mix also Thing about these cities is that its not just a population thing - their per capita player ratio is always tops as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida could have down year in the draft for their standards and it would not change my opinion of quality of HS football being played. Its outstanding! This exactly. When it comes to players they've had the most active for a long while now and when compared to TX and CA per capita they really stand out (I know per capita can have its arguments but it has to be acknowledged and FL, GA and LA really dominate in that regard). Regardless of this I've always felt that TX has the best HS football. Feldman did this in at the end of the 2018 season https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/look-these-states-produce-the-most-nfl-players/ look at LA and GA per capita but then consider FL is the only big state with top per capita numbers yet has the most overall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
