Per capita, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina produce the most NFL players.



That's a little outdated. In the last few years, it's gone back and forth between Georgia and Louisiana at #1.

I went and looked at last years info.

There was one change, South Carolina fell out of the top four and was replaced by Georgia. The top three were Georgia, Louisiana, and Alabama. But with populations less than half of Georgia, just a handful of players can change things year to much more for states like AL, MS, SC and LA in terms of rank than Georgia.

Mississippi was fourth. Florida was number five. Florida gets credit for IMG players, which as a high school has more NFL players than any other high school. But many of those players aren’t really from Florida. South Carolina fell all the way to eighth. Texas was ninth and California was somewhere outside the top ten. The point stands either way that the most NFL talent, per capita, comes from the deep south.
