what would your state's team look like? And who would win this thing? I say Florida, easily.

(players must have been born in or played high school in that state)

Alabama
QB- Philip Rivers, Decatur (NC State)
RB- Zach Stacy, Centreville (Vanderbilt)
RB- Ameer Abdullah, Homewood (Nebraska)
WR- Julio Jones, Foley (Alabama)
WR- Jerricho Cotchery, Birmingham (NC State)
WR- Ben Obomanu, Selma (Auburn)
OT- Andre Smith, Birmingham (Alabama)
OG- Evan Mathis, Homewood (Alabama)
C- Antoine Caldwell, Montgomery (Alabama)
OG- Ben Grubbs, Eclectic (Auburn)
OT- David Stewart, Moulton (MS State)

DE- Michael Johnson, Plantersville (Georgia Tech)
DT- Marcel Dareus, Birmingham (Alabama)
DE- Justin Tuck, Kellyton (Notre Dame)
LB- Michael Boley, Elkmont (Southern Miss)
LB- Courtney Upshaw, Eufaula (Alabama)
LB- DeMeco Ryans, Bessemer (Alabama)
LB- DeMarcus Ware, Auburn (Troy)
CB- Captain Munnerlyn, Mobile (South Carolina)
CB- Jerraud Powers, Decatur (Auburn)
S- Rashad Johnson, Sulligent (Alabama)
S- Mark Barron, Mobile (Alabama)

K- Leigh Tiffin, Muscle Shoals (Alabama)
P- (no idea)

This was time consuming... fair warning


ETA: This is for guys who could currently play on the team... they don't have to be active NFL. This isn't an all-time, all-state team

I would assume active players. Otherwise OP left a lot of talent on the bench.

Yes, active. Half of these guys wouldn't make an all-time roster.

Also Alabama/Auburn fans... I'm open to suggestions... I was stuck on a few

DT- Nick Fairley, Mobile


Just no. Dareus was voted by his peers number 62 in the nfl top 100. Had 7.5 sacks and 71 tackles last year basically from the NG position

Michael Johnson is from Plantersville, I like him over
umenyiora at this point.

Never mind, I semi-apologize. However, is Yeldon the best we can do as a State? What about Cadillac Williams? Isn't he from Alabama and I don't think he's "officially" retired?

Drew Brees, Adrian Peterson, Dez Bryant, etc. The Lone Star State crushes on offensive talent.

I mean.... Shawn Alexander (who isn't even from Alabama btw)? Richardson, Ingram, Cadillac, Ronnie Brown, Coffee, Mason, ect. are all from other states

ETA: Ben Tate too

You seriously think I would make an all-time list without Jackson on it?

Zach Stacey! He was very underrated at Vandy IMO and he's played well in the NFL

Okay, that's one. The list I could find was from 2012 active NFL players and then I looked up Alabama and Auburn draftees from this year. Stacy just slipped through the cracks
