Some More Draft Numbers

I keep coming across interesting numbers from the 2019 NFL Draft.

States with the most players drafted:

Florida: 34
Texas: 27
California: 22
Georgia: 13
Ohio: 13
Louisiana: 10
Mississippi: 10
North Carolina: 10

Minnesota Vikings 12-member draft class by state:

Alexander Mattison

Garrett Bradbury
Olisaemeka Udoh

Texas:
Kris Boyd
Aaron Cutting

Louisiana:
Irv Smith Jr.

Tennessee:
Dillon Mitchell

Missouri:
Armon Watts

Colorado
Olabisi Johnson

High Schools with multiple players drafted:

Allen (Allen, TX):
Kyler Murray (Arizona/1)
Greg Little (Carolina/2)
Bobby Evans (Los Angeles Rams/3)
-Murray might've had a better line in high school than he'll have as a rookie.

Cocoa (Cocoa, FL):
Jawaan Taylor (Jacksonville/2)
Jamel Dean (Tampa Bay/3)
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson (New Orleans/4)

Booker T. Washington (Tulsa, OK):
Justice Hill (Baltimore/4)
Jordan Brailford (Washington/7)

Brighton (Salt Lake City, UT):
Cody Barton (Seattle/3)
Jackson Barton (Indianapolis/7)

Eden Praire (Eden Praire, MN):
Ryan Connelly (New York Giants/5)
Blake Cashman (New York Jets/5)

IMG Academy (Bradenton, FL):
Hjalte Froholdt (New England/4)
Isaac Nauta (Detroit/7)

Killian (Miami, FL):
Sheldrick Redwine (Cleveland/4)
Jaquan Johnson (Buffalo/6)

Paradise Valley (Phoenix, AZ):
Ryan Finley (Cincinnati/4)
Jordan Brown (Cincinnati/7)
-Reunited

Saint Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, FL):
Nick Bosa (San Francisco/1)
Jordan Scarlett (Carolina/5)

Wake Forest (Wake Forest, NC):
Dexter Lawrence (New York Giants/1)
Bryce Love (Washington/4)

Wenonah (Birmingham, AL):
Quninnen Williams (New York Jets/1)
Quincy Williams (Jacksonville/3)

Winton Woods (Cincinnati, OH):
Mike Edwards (Tampa Bay/3)
David Long Jr. (Tennessee/6)

I'm really surprised that there wasn't more made of two sets of brothers being drafted. Quinnen and Quincy Williams. Cody and Jackson Barton. One would think that something like that would come up during the long pre-draft process. The talking heads didn't have to honk about Kyler Murray every day. When the Jaguars selected Quincy Williams in the third round it seemed that his being the brother of Quinnen was a surprise to even Daniel Jeremiah. I didn't think about the Barton brothers being drafted even though I was aware of them at Utah. I guess that the only brothers that anyone cared about were the Bosa brothers.

The 10 schools with the most players drafted since 1936 (the first draft):

Notre Dame: 593
USC: 525
Ohio State: 488
Michigan: 402
Penn State: 400
Oklahoma: 380
Alabama: 378
Miami: 372
Nebraska: 369
LSU: 369

During the early decades of the draft many players were drafted simply because they played at the above schools.

California: 242
Go Bears!!!

The NFL Draft is so damn much fun.
