The states and schools that produce NFL talent

 

They range from Salmon High School in Salmon, Idaho to Quirinus Gymnasium in Kaarst, Germany.

 

A total of 244 high schools contributed to the 256 players selected in the seven rounds of the 2009 NFL Draft on April 25-26, USA Football announced Monday.    

 

There were 12 schools that had two players each taken. Four of those schools produced a first-round choice –

One of the high school duos played football together in youth league and high school, and now will suit up for the defending champion Pittsburgh Steelers after being selected within one hour of each other.

 

New Pittsburgh defensive back KEENAN LEWIS (Round 3, 96 overall) and wide receiver MIKE WALLACE (Round 3, 84 overall) are childhood best friends who were teammates at O. Perry Walker in New Orleans, Louisiana before playing college ball separately. 

 

"It's a dream to play with one of my best friends," says Lewis.  "Since the age of 6 we played Pop Warner together." 

 

"I never thought in a million years we'd be on the same team," said Wallace.  "And for us to be on the same team and go in the same round, around the same time, is one of the better things that could have happened."

 

For now, Lewis and Wallace relish the opportunity to face-off and play together once again.  "(Wallace) thinks that he can take me so now he is going to have his chance," says Lewis.  "We have been competing hard since high school."

Some interesting notes on high schools in the 2009 NFL Draft:

Thirty-two states and the District of Columbia, as well as Canada and Germany had at least one player drafted. 

SEBASTIAN VOLLMER (New England/2) became the first European-trained player to be drafted by an NFL club.  The former University of Houston tackle started his career with the Düsseldorf (Germany) Panthers from 2001 to 2003, winning two German championships.

 

New Jersey led all states with seven first-round selections in the 2009 NFL Draft.  Texas had six players selected in the first round, including the first two selections (MATTHEW STAFFORD, Detroit; JASON SMITH, St. Louis).  California followed with three players selected and Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio also had multiple players selected.

 

Texas (37) replaced California (32) for the most drafted players in 2009 by adding 13 players from their 2008 total (24).  Alabama (12) made the next highest climb by adding nine players, followed by Maryland (10) and New Jersey (12) with eight additional players each.

 

The Chicago Bears drafted one of the five players hailing from Hawaii (AL AFALAVA /6) – one year after drafting the lone player from Alaska (ZACHARY BOWMAN/5).  Afalava has already been lectured on the virtues of being a Bear; he describes his strength coaches at Oregon State as die-hard Bears fans.
