Because about 40% of our male population is 5’3” 160lb hispanics and there aren’t many of those guys in the league.

Wow Texas blowing Louisiana out of the water in yet another statistic.
per capita, Louisiana has over twice as many as Texas according to current population sizes, which explains why A$m can’t beat LSU in their worst year of football in 2 decades.

Suck at math, but great at being slumpbusters

I’m kind of shocked that New Jersey has so many. I can’t think of any players from there nor do I remember there being that many top 100 recruits from there.

Even if half of Texas are Mexicans, you’d still be 3 time’s the size of Louisiana, yet not 3x the amount of NFL players.

It's absolutely hilarious that Aggies will talk education smack here (because everyone owns them on the field) and then spout off some low IQ shite like this.

well these are meaningless less you look at percapita... in that respect louisana doing good



No it isn't and if you really wanna go there,per participant is a better metric and "since 2002" is a really strange timeline.

You always say this and someone always has to point out to you that there aren't really accurate records kept of how many kids play high school football in any given state.

Because it's the only rational way to calculate which PARTICIPANTS in
FB actually make it to the highest level.No idea why it's so difficult for you to grasp.

I provided a link to HS FB participants in each state in our last discussion.Took some digging and I really don't have time to do it again.

Anyway,why don't you just post the current numbers for NFL players?
Why since 2002?Lots of population shifts,especially in the south since then.

Everyone knows this and everyone agrees with you, there just isn't access to that information.

You're essentially telling a guy with no legs that walking is a much more efficient way to get around.

From one random year and it was like 4 years old at that point and not really verifiable.

It just isn't a measured statistic that is available consistently.

I didn't make the graphic.



Not sure why this gets under your skin so much.

Because 20 years is 2 decades. Nice round numbers.
