Number of 2022 NFL Draft Picks by state where they played high school ball:
Texas (32)
Georgia (30)
California (22)
Florida (21)
Ohio (13)
Alabama (12)
Louisiana (10)
Maryland (10)
North Carolina (10)
Nick Saban has recruited the shite out of California, Texas, Louisiana and Florida. I think one year his national championship team had a defensive backfield entirely from Florida. Not sure what you mean.

Didn’t check all of the states but teas has a population of 29.5 mil, louisiana 4.5 mil. So if the numbers in the nfl above are accurate texas is roughly 6 times the population of louisiana but only puts roughly 3 times more in the nfl. Don’t know about the other states but louisiana puts far more in nfl per capita than texas.

The best high school football players in the country come from south Florida and it isn’t all that close. Those kids are getting coached hard from 5 years old. Actually hard. No travel ball bullshite.

State of Georgia seriously outpacing everyone there on a per capita basis. Wow.

The OP is talking about coming out of high school though....not college. Once in college kids can toughen up, put on weight, polish technique and do all kinds of things to get to the NFL.
I don't think he is saying Texas kids don't have talent so much as they come out of high school lacking some aspects.
Again....I don't know how true it is but I have heard similar things. I'm sure there have been some absolutely great players that came out of Texas high schools, too. It boils down to an opinion by somebody and would be very difficult to prove or say definitively.

I should also say that this surprises me somewhat as the rankign of talent usually goes something like:
California
Texas
Florida (Florida and Texas are almost even, I think)
Georgia
Ohio (Ohio has been slipping for some time, though)
