it doesn’t explain why states like Kansas, Iowa, and north fricking Dakota are producing more football players than we are



Because they aren't. Who got drafted in a single year isn't a measure of that.

Iowa is pretty comparable. Kansas produces less talent. Sometimes they get some good ones out of KC metro area. Both of the Dakotas combined produce significantly less talent than Arkansas

Arkansas has more football talent than Iowa, North Dakota and Kansas. They would be ranked above other states if maximized to full potential.

Those states get the most of what they have while Arkansas just loafs around.

Iowa is not comparable. They are top 15 in NFL players per capita.

Kansas and South Dakota both have more players per capita.

Only 12 states have fewer players per capita than Arkansas. Most of those being states that don’t prioritize athletics at all.
