A few surprises here and there but not too much. Interesting NY state has so many people and relatively so few draft picks in comparison to far less populous states. Michigan as well .

The States That Have Produced The Most NFL Draft Picks
I knew it would be Florida, but I thought the gap with Texas would've been smaller.
I had no doubt about Florida. Their high schools are deep in talent. What kinda surprised me are Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Penn State, Pitt, Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State pretty much get a good portion of their talent in state. Surprised so few are in the pros compared to Florida and Texas. Pennsylvania is the 5th most populous state, then Ohio at 7th and Michigan at 10th.
I also notice them big azz corn fed white boys out of Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma may go to D1 but ain't good enough to get drafted.
