Sure, what the hell...

There's probably a better way to do this, but it gets the job done.

I can't answer your other questions because I haven't lived in SA for a few years. The guys I listed are the players I remember watching or reading about in the paper growing up.

Then you look at Dallas's area, and the red is 3 times as big. :fro

If you are such a big fan, name some.

[StylisticS]

Eh. Dallas as the city and San Antonio as the city is just about the same. It's when you say the entire DFW metroplex is where Dallas would come out on top. However Miami, Houston, and Dallas leads the nation in the most talent in football in that order. Miami with 24, Houston with 22, and Dallas with 18. And Dallas's lake highlands have 5 nfl players and Carter was a recruiting magnet as well back in the day.

Houston, though, is a beast.

Roderick Babers
Jason Webster
Cory Redding
Juqua Thomas
Josh Williams
Shaun Rogers
Ron Edwards
Sam Adams
Moran Norris
Adrian Mayes
Tommy Hendricks
Larry Izzo
Robert Holcombe
Gerome Sapp
Devard Darling
Donald Driver
Randy Hymes
Robert Ferguson
Lee Mays
Keenan McCardell
Vince Young

and the entire Houston metro is no joke either. Texas is one of the big 3 when it comes to football talent and the south basically shits on all regions when it comes to football talent regardless. Look at the running back position and see how much the south runs that.

[Mr Dio]

Houston is a beast, metro area several times as big as SA & has the crud to prove it.
They do clean up on talent though.

[Mr Dio]

Carter & SOC in Big D were good proving grounds for high school football & TX DOC.

[scott]

Midland has still got it goin' on.

[2centsworth]

How about Tommy Nobis?

This is a map of the origins of NFL talent and is much more accurate and useful, since its not a per capita thing. I could have 3 NFL players from some itt bitty town in Nevada, and on the original map its going to look like Nevada is some sort of fertile recruiting ground for elite college football players.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

winnepeg is one fo the most up and coming nfl fertile grounds in the mainland


rememba when we went to ottawa?
