I don't think there is a state that is on par with their HS production of DB talent.
Patrick Peterson
Vernon Hargreaves
Etc
is it the large talent pool?

Hargreaves hasn't even played a college down yet, so we should probably use another example. It is just a large talent pool that always produces awesome skill players.

BTW, how do you keep making alters?

Florida is just on of those states that produce elite talent. Always been like that, always will.

At the risk of being called a racist, etc, I had a SE historian (who was an African American) explain this very question about the distribution/size of African American athletes. African Americans during the slave trading years were literally breed to perform certain jobs. In Florida, much of GA, much of south AL, and the delta area of the MS and LA, plantations needed a smaller, quicker worker to work their crops. Areas that bought slaves for more difficult, labor intensive tasks bought big, strong men. That's why the timber areas of Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi produce huge, fast African American athletes. Of course there are always exceptions, and families move over time, but that's how it was explained to me in general.

If you are going to use somebody why not Hasean Clinton-Dix they are proven in the SEC.
But yes, its a large state that the local high school football has very advanced passing games. In fact high school passing games in my opinion are forcing High School DB coaching to get better. I mean if you are playing 10 spread teams you have to coach your DBs a lot more closer than we did playing 10 Wing T/Power I/Wishbone teams. This means the kids are getting taught technique and schemes that are much closer to college level work than they were even 5 but especially 10 years ago.
