To determine the top football baby factories, cleveland.com tabulated state totals for where NFL players were born and then calculated a ranking -- based on a ratio of current players from each state to births in the early 1990s when a big share of today's players were born.  The top five states are all from the Southeast.

Please note the level of talent per capita in Georgia and Alabama.  Florida has about double the population of Georgia and quadruple the population of Alabama.  So, when you look it that way, the states are very close in terms of NFL talent produced.   Florida has the fourth largest population of any state in the country.

...but not by far.  So, until you come up with some other objective measures, it's not fair to say no other state comes close to Florida in terms of quality of talent.  The other southern states are very rich in talent.  They simply don't have anywhere near the population that Florida does.

States like Georgia also have much better management then FL as well as better coaches which leads to players being better developed (and more successful)

 

Who's to say FL wouldn't have a far better lead if other factors were in their favor

 

Who's to say if these states having more people means more football players 

 

 

Also something to keep in mind, a lot of population in FL also includes senior citizens who moved here to enjoy retirement near beaches 

 

So while FL has a higher population it doesn't mean that all that population leads to more players

The best method (which i think is one you used in this thread) is to judge talent based on per capita of the high school players in each state 

 

The per capita should be based on the number of high school football players in each state and how many either make it college or pro level

 

If you take it from total student population or state population then it's not going to be telling the entire story

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      By Joshua Wilson · Posted

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.
