Three Florida schools top list led by IMG Academy.
Entering the 2022 NFL season, not a single former high school football player from Alaska, Maine or Vermont appear on a roster for one the league's 32 teams. Meanwhile,
IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) has produced 14 players who are expected to be in uniform opening weekend, topping our list of prep programs with the most pros.
The Cleveland Browns have four former IMG Academy players alone – Grant Delpit, Hialte Froholdt, Kellen Mond and Greg Newsome II. While many of the program's players begin their high school careers elsewhere, IMG is undoubtedly a pipeline to the NFL.
Westlake (Austin, Texas) is notable due to the fact that two former quarterbacks from the school are now teammates on the Indianapolis Colts. Sam Ehlinger and Nick Foles both threw for more than 5,000 yards while at Westlake.
In between quarterback meetings, the duo may have a keen eye on the Chaparrals, who are 2-0 and ranked No. 9 nationally by MaxPreps.
Four of the top five teams on the list are from Florida and all 25 schools
listed have at least four players preparing to strap up their pads on
Sundays.
Grant Delpit of the Cleveland Browns is one of 14 players from IMG Academy currently in the NFL, the most of any school.
