Who's got the ultimate bragging rights when it comes to sending players to the NFL from the high school ranks in Kansas?

To find out, MaxPreps and Lateral Sports teamed up and found the alma mater of every player on an NFL roster as of opening day (we included suspended and injured reserve players). Then we broke it all down by state and came up with the table below.

You will find that Kansas has sent 15 players to the league this season, and that no school can claim multiple players.

Want some more fun facts? How about these:



- Two NFL teams have pairs of Kansas-bred players on their rosters: the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings.

- The Kansas City Chiefs don't have anybody from a Kansas high school.

- Four linebackers make up the 15 players from the state, representing a large percentage. But on the flip side, Kansas provides a wide range of positions to the league.
