Even two weeks after the last pick was announced I can't get enough of the NFL Draft.
NFL.com's Chase Groodbread recently broke down the 253 draft picks by state. Here are the results.
32-Texas
30-Florida
26-California
15-Georgia
14-Ohio
10-Illinois
9-Pennsylvania
8-North Carolina
7-Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, South Carolina
6-Alabama, Arizona, Indiana
5-Louisiana, Tennessee
4-Arkansas, Missouri, Virginia, Washington
3-Hawaii, Mississippi, Nevada, Wisconsin, Washington D.C.
2-Connecticut, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah
1-Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska
Florida had the most players selected in the first round with seven.
The most publicized international player selected in the draft was Germany's Moritz Bohringer but he wasn't the only foreign-born player. David Onyemata and Germain Ifedi were born in Nigeria. Adam Gotsis was born in Australia.
Other draft tally nuggets (also courtesy of Chase Goodbread's fine work):
Ohio State topped the colleges with 12 players selected.
The SEC was the conference leader. Again.
Here's how the Power Five conferences broke down.
SEC: 51
Big Ten: 47
Pac-12: 32
ACC: 26
Big-12: 26
Other conferences:
AAC: 10
Conference USA: 10
Mountain West: 9
Mid-American: 6
Sun Belt: 3
Fun stuff!
