Hall of Famer
I found this article on Yahoo. It's ranks the states according to which ones produce the most NFL players. Obviously California and Texas are 1 and 2 because of population. The interesting thing is that Louisiana, Mississippi, and Hawaii put the most players in the NFL per-capita. That's because colleges recruit from Louisiana, Mississippi, and Hawaii at higher rates. The enormous amount of Polynesians in the NFL(per population of course) explains why Hawaii is third in per-capita.
