You would think Missouri would be higher on the list with Kansas City and St. Louis both being in the state...

NFL players from high schools in state (2005-present), population and minority percentage

Missouri 11, 6M, 11%

Mississippi 18, 3M, 37%

Arkansas 18, 3M, 17%

Tennessee 20, 6.4M, 17%

Oklahoma, 20, 3.8M, 7%

By the numbers alone Arkansas is producing great talent with HALF the population of border states. Those states are greatly underachieving in the resources department.
