Which SEC state's HSFB products have been awarded the most Heisman trophies, NFL & SB MVPs & NFL HOF trophies combined? I'd say....
1) TX
2) FL (distant 2nd)
3) LA or MS
5) GA
6-16) Everybody else
***2020 NFL Draft:
Seven of the first 45 players drafted are from Houston. That is 15%.
(More than your whole state...)
No, TX HSFB is not overrated...It translates well into the league, then and now...

Texas owning it.

I think LA has 10 NFL MVPs and 6 Super Bowl MVPs, but I may be off a hair.
EDIT: It appears there have been 63 MVPs from the AP. 10 out of 63 is pretty remarkable.

Florida has 7-8 million less people than Texas and more players in the NFL than Texas. That's all you need to know to figure out who produces the most talent.

The population of Texas alone, and HS football being the #1 sport, is the only reason Texas is #1.
If California wasn't the land of fruits and nuts, where soccer, surfing, skateboarding, X-sports, and SJWing are the main sports, California would probably be #1.

Yet, for all that talent, the State of Texas has only had 1 national title winning team since 1970

Texas has over 50,000 high school players per year and puts out ~330 div I prospects per year
Louisiana has 10,000 high school players per year and puts out ~110 div 1 prospects per year
Do the math, carry the 1, divide by your football ego and poof...Louisiana has twice the Div 1 prospects per person as Texas. That's a Texas-sized big difference.
As for NFL, let's go right to the top. There were ~17 years in a row where the 2 Super Bowl teams each year had at least 1 starter, not just from Louisiana, but from New Orleans to Lafayette general areas. Some years, there were 6 or so starters among the starting 44 (22 O and 22 D), from little ole subset of little ole Louisiana (ie, 2008 New England vs. NY Giants, among several others). I quit counting last 4 or so years so possibly longer that 17 years...
I always thought TX killed more Div 1 prospects than it nurtured given the over-sized high schools, some with 3,500 up to 5,000 students. Can only field a starter team of 22...just think of how many would-be talented players turn to other sports or just exit stage left. I lived in Houston for 10-years and watched A LOT of HS football there. Had a kid go to school there (The Woodlands).

The DFW metroplex has a higher population that #2,3, and 4 combined
Per capita Texas football has grossly under produced. Change my mind.

I always wonder about these people who want to talk about all-time lists. I don’t care what your “great grandpappy” saw as a child. California has put out the best talent all-time, but now they tend to be soft as shite. They can play positions without much contact. Mostly WR/QB/CB. California prefers playing 7 on 7 so mamas wittle babies don’t hurt their noggins. Strap on some pads and these guys wilt. Texas is following the California model, but they’re still a decade behind. Enjoy any all-time lists while you still can, I guess.
