Florida loaded with talented 2018 defensive backs

It is premium, but see if you can catch the mistake in the beginning of the article.

The state of Florida might not necessarily be known for producing an overabundance of big-time quarterbacks or offensive linemen, but the fourth-most populous state is certainly known for producing elite defensive backs.
Deion Sanders, Ed Reed, Patrick Peterson, Antonio Cromartie, Jenoris Jenkins, Reggie Nelson, Sean Taylor and Vernon Hargreaves III are just a handful of defensive backs from the state of Florida that were selected in the first round of the NFL draft.

Pretty sure it's Janoris not Jenoris.

It's like they don't even have editors.

ETA: just looked it up and it is Janoris.

If Florida gets credit for Ed Reed, Louisiana gets Patrick Peterson.

Does that mean Patrick Peterson is from Louisiana?

Good catch. I missed that. Proper spelling with some of these first names is not always the easiest thing.

It's hilarious that one non-IMG HS in Florida has a better cornerback tandem than some SEC teams.

Not sure where you got that list...but Wyatt has been billed from several places in Louisiana, and the the list doesn't even include Mark Henry (Texas) or Finn Balor.

That's because Mark Henry and Finn Baelor have never been WWE champion...
