Which state produced the most picks in the 2019 NFL Draft? Here’s the answer
There’s long been a debate over which state produces the most football talent.
Is it Florida? Is it Texas? How about California or any other states in SEC Country?
If we’re going off producing NFL talent in this year’s draft class, the title goes to Florida.
The Sunshine State, thanks to the talent hotbed of South Florida, had more picks than any other state in the 2019 NFL Draft.
Players native to Florida accounted for 32 of the 254 picks. Florida had five first-round players picked, the most of any state, and they were Nick Bosa (49ers), Devin Bush (Steelers), Brian Burns (Panthers), Marquise Brown (Ravens) and Deandre Baker (Giants).
Here are totals from various states:
Florida: 32
Texas: 27
California: 22
Georgia: 15
Ohio: 12
North Carolina: 10
Louisiana: 10
