PrintTo the surprise of no one, the state of Florida had the most players taken in the 2010 NFL Draft. Thirty-four players who played high school in the Sunshine State were picked.
Texas (26 players) was second, followed by California (25) and Georgia (15). New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia each had 12 players selected.
St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Florida had the most players drafted with three – Geno Atkins, Major Wright and Sam Young.
Pisctaway High School in New Jersey was the only high school with two first-round picks. Offensive tackle Anthony Davis was taken 11th overall and cornerback Kyle Wilson 29th overall.

It astounds me
Some of the facts you post on here seem to come out of left field. Where do you find the time to dig this stuff up??
Kudos, nonetheless. Very interesting stuff.
I am not surprised. seemed like a good draft for the south and schools from the south which generally have a good number of florida players. Texas and Cal are not surprises at all…neither is ohio, though honestly I expected it to be higher. people don’t realize how good football in ohio is. in many places, football in ohio is almost like Basketball in indiana or Hockey in Minnesota. Texas is probably more like this, but ohio has some fierce Football competition in many areas
I teach good life choices. That’s why I almost didn’t graduate High School.
Hells yeah
