Football fan here! Just a quick question, I've been trying to settle a little debate with my friends. Does anyone know which high school has had the most students drafted into the NFL? Is there a certain high school that's like a breeding ground for future NFL talent?
Yes, the high school record holder for producing the most NFL draft picks is currently Long Beach Polytechnic High School, located in Long Beach, California. This school, often referred to as "LB Poly," has seen numerous of its students go on to play professionally in the National Football League (NFL). To further put this in context, dozens of LB Poly alumni have been drafted into the NFL, including recognizable names like DeSean Jackson and Marcedes Lewis.
In general, NFL talent tends to come from a variety of high schools, especially those in areas known for strong high school football programs like California, Texas, and Florida. Nevertheless, it's important to remember that reaching the NFL requires a combination of athletic talent, personal drive, good coaching, luck in avoiding injuries, and usually college experience.
