Rock Hill, SC
quote:
How can a South Carolina city with a population of 68,000 and change claim 21 NFL players as its own — including eight who were on active rosters in Week 1 this season? How can that same city have 24 players in either the FBS or FCS — including one of the leading candidates to be the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft?
quote:
The numbers back up that assessment. The city of Miami has the most players in the NFL at 24, but that's a rate of one per 17,254 people. Rock Hill produces one NFL player per 8,512 people. The headliners are easy to recognize. University of South Carolina star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney likely will be the third consecutive first-round pick. He follows Buffalo cornerback Stephon Gilmore (2012) and Minnesota wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (2013).

Well, we're talking about Georgia here, so we need to ask, how many other teams claim national championships the same year as this schools?

Of course you say they don't count. They don't fit your agenda. They are the high school football capital of the world and have been recognized that way for a long time.
