U.S. States that Produce the Most Quality Football Players: Per Capita and Overall Production Ranks
The following database is a compilation of data, significant statistical accomplishments and awards, for the purpose of determining which U.S. states have the most impact on the game of American football.
Each player to accomplish a designated feat is attributed to the credit of his state of birth. The numbers are compiled in order to rank each state for production in two categories: Per capita production and Overall number of performances produced.
The Per Capita rank is designated with a per capita score: the division of the number of performances by said state’s current estimated population. Then the zeros before the number are eliminated to give the viewer a more visually palatable number. The overall number of performances rank is simply an addition of all performances equal to or above the designated mark.
This database is an ongoing work. The rankings will be updated at the end of each football season, and many more categories are to be added as time permits. Categories factored in thus far are National College Football awards on the FBS level, NFL Hall of Fame Members, 10 or more sacks in an NFL season, 7 or more interceptions in an NFL season, 3,000 or more yards passing in an NFL season, 1,000 or more yards rushing in an NFL season, and 1,000 or more receiving yards in an NFL season.
Thus far trends show the states of Louisiana and Mississippi to be the clear leaders in per capita production of quality football performances, while our two most populous states, California and Texas, are our leaders in the number of players produced.
An overview of the rankings in both categories is provided in the table below and the remainder of this database provides breakdowns of how each state scored in the 7 assessments done thus far.
For those of you interested in the players who have accomplished these feats, in the text box to your upper right are links to databases for each category. Each category database includes a list of all players from the individual states to accomplish the designated feat along with a detailed statistical analysis of his season where applicable.
