The case for southern Louisiana: No state produces no more NFL talents per capita than Louisiana – and southern Louisiana produces a massive amount of talents that take up the league and also university football.

Thomas, outside of Walker, in Louisiana, was a Rival250 WR which has since surfaced as one of the best young NFL perimeter receivers in Jacksonville. Nabers, who was sidelined as a senior because of the state transfer rules, has set several records in LSU before crossing the brand for receptions by a recruit last season with the New York Giants. Former player n ° 2 Maason Smith In 2021, there was a choice of second round of the Jags and quickly became one of the most formidable young DLs in the NFL.

This includes the old global recruit n ° 1 Arc manningwhich will orchestrate the Texas offensive in full time this season. His teammate – Derek Williams – is one of the best young SAFs expecting to play a more important role this fall in Austin.
Ancient rivals Five-Star Wr Aaron Anderson came strong in its second season in Lsu and should be part of a high octane attack at Baton Rouge this fall. Must therefore Chris HiltonA recruit of the top 100 in 2021.
