Who Has the best football players


Recommended Posts

Texas by far, Florida just as close. Let me say that although TN would be as low the Dakotas in producing the # of Blue Chippers, the City of Memphis alone puts out quite a few "Sunday" football players. It's been said the kids from Memphis typically do OK at the college level, but do extremely well at the Pro level.

My opinion on the Top 5 metro areas as far as athletes.

 

Houston, Tx

New Orleans, La

Miami, Fla

Atlanta, Ga

San Diego, Ca

California hands down has more talent than any state in the country. I was watching a special on O.J. Simpson(who is from Soutern Cal) and they said then you find more talent on one block in southern california then you could in the entire U.S. And for Texas, the state is made up more of tradition rich football programs rather than top notch ahtletes.

Florida is probally the next state with the most. The Orlando area produces great athletes of every sport.

In my opinion and some others at USA Today and HS NFL the top ten ranking would be.

 

Texas

California

Florida

Pennsylvania

Mississippi

Michigan

Maryland

Georga

S. Carolina

Ohio

 

I think Tennessee would be in the top 20, I am sad to say. Some programs in Tennessee have set the state on the map, but over all colleges and the pro's look to the above states for top talent.

EASY ANSWER TEXAS. RATIO TO POPULATION IS MISSISSIPPI for colleges.

I agree Mississippi. The best Receiver to ever play in the NFL came from Mississippi (Jerry Rice Mississippi Valley State), the best running back to ever play in the NFL came from Mississippi (Waltor Payton Jackson State) and two of the best QB in the NFL in their prime came from Mississippi (Brett Favre Kiln, Mississippi University of Southern Mississippi) and Steve Mcnair (Mount Olive, Mississippi Alcorn State)

well I like the list of the metro areas. San Diego county has been the best at producing good running backs. (Marcus Allen, Rashan Salaam, Terrel Davis, Ricky Williams, Reggie Bush) 3 out of the 4 are heismann winners. Plus Junior Seau grew up in San Diego. In other sports, Ted Williams and Tony Gwynn are from San Diego. Arguably the 2 best hitters EVER in baseball. Florence Griffith Joyner was from San Diego. So there are heismann trophy and Super Bowl MVP winning football players, MVP winning baseball players, and Olympic Gold Medalists. Not bad!!!

My top 3 would be

 

Florida

Texas

California

 

I would say th Per Capita before Katrina = Louisiana

You might want to check those figures, because it is widely known that per capita, PA puts out more than any other state, before or after Katrina.

 

Just the Southwest corner of PA produces more college and pro football players than any state does as a whole with the exception of CA, TX and FL. That's just because of sheer #'s.

Not figures. It was my opinion. I don't waste my time digging up statistics.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
