Not to put all my eggs in one basket but NFL is kinda the dream for me. I was wondering, do certain states' high schools seem to churn out more NFL stars? Any insights?
Absolutely, some states do seem to have a higher number of high school football players who end up in the NFL. This could be due to several factors, including regional emphasis on the sport, larger populations, or high-quality athletic programs.
The top 5 states in terms of producing NFL players are typically:
1. Florida
2. Texas
3. California
4. Georgia
5. Ohio
Florida, Texas, and California often lead due to their large populations and deep-rooted football culture. Georgia and Ohio round off the top five, but the relevance of these latter states can vary by year.
However, it's key to remember that success in the NFL requires more than just being from a state with many NFL players. It takes considerable talent, a strong work ethic, physical fitness, and a hefty dose of tenacity. Also, having a plan B is always a smart move because, unfortunately, injuries or other circumstances could derail even the most promising football careers. Good luck with your journey!
