Answer 1

Well, look at the three players from Ole Miss in the pro bowl. Eli's and Wallace are from New Orleans. Willis is from Tennessee. The four former Ole Miss players in the final four of the NFL playoffs were from out of state. Of all the very good Orgeron era players only the Jerrys and Sanford were from Mississippi.

Well, I think there is talent everywhere but it's always wise to look for speed in La. and Florida. Louisiana(Mike Wallace, Marshay Green, Kendrick Lewis, etc.) Florida (Mccluster. Jeff Scott, Dou Innocent, Roell Preston etc)

Of course Deuce could fly and he is from MS and John Avery is from North Carolina so you really have to look everywhere to find your guy. But IMO Florida is a good place to start.

Only 8 are from Mississippi and three of those are from South Panola.

Answer 4

24 is just a little under the nat'l avg given MS has about 3 mil people in a country of about 312 mil so 1% of the pop. There are just under 3000 active nfl players. Panola co is doing well with over 10% of the state's active nfl players.If someone Panola co. would study when they got to college it could be staggering.
