There's a very surprising midwest state churning out NFL talent​

The midwest state that has become a factory for developing NFL players ranks ahead of Texas, Florida, California and Ohio.

• DOUG SAMUELS

Southern states like Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia have been churning out NFL players for decades at an unrivaled rate. That's no secret.
But according to some recent data diving into the home state of NFL players per million state's residents there's one other state you'd never guess right up there alongside those powerhouses.
You might think the other top state is also located in the south. Your first guesses would likely be Florida or Texas, or maybe out west in California - but those guesses would be wrong.

According to a study done back in February, it's a midwest state that is dominating.
That state? Cockeye.
Yeah. I wouldn't have guessed that either.
At a rate of 12.5 NFL players per million residents, Cockeye ranks just below states like Georgia (12.6), Alabama (12.7), and a bit further behind the national leaders of churning out NFL talent like Mississippi (14.5) and Louisiana (15).

According to the data, the national average per state is 5.2 NFL players per million residents. States right around that national average include Michigan (5.4), North Carolina (5.7), and Texas (5.7).
Other relative surprises from the data:

• Nebraska ranking higher than Texas (6.1)
• Hawaii and Florida with the same (7.5)
• Vermont is the only state with zero current NFL players
• New Hampshire, Maine, Rhode Island all under 1 NFL player per million residents
• Alaska (2.7) with a better figure than Arkansas (2.3), Washington (2.2), and North Dakota (2.6)
• Georgia has FOUR times the number of NFL players as New York despite half the population.

Sanders is his white slavemaster name. "Prime" is his African ancestral surname.

OT recruiting is clearly down to plan B if not plan C croots. I'm not sure why they passed on the two Nebraska kids.

It’s not like Nebraska kids have been just dominating the college game at Nebraska.

Because they had Hammerbeck higher on their board? Seems pretty simple to me.

Agreed, the previous poster simply asked who the 2 in-state OTs that NE passed on were.

Ah, gotcha. My bad for being snarky.

Thanks… @kyle23 I wouldn’t consider them as scholarship worthy for us. Taking these two over Hammerbeck and Tapu is beyond Plan C. It’s more like plan “fuck it”. Great if we could convince them to walk on.

I was thinking the same so I went and checked their ratings on On 3. Hammerbeck is actually rated higher than the other two -

Tapu #41 OT
Hammerbeck #43 OT
Ren Brown #106 OT
Garin Marley #117 IOL
Houston #44 IOL

Utu #3 IOL
SJ #4 IOL
