We've been hard at work here at MaxPreps analyzing the results of the NFL Draft over the last 21 years. Through extensive research, we've come up with state-by-state stories detailing which schools have been the best at producing NFL Draft picks.

The criteria to be featured in each state's story depends on the individual state's penchant for production. For example, a California school that produces two draftees isn't as significant as a school in a smaller state like Idaho. Not all states have had a draftee in the last two decades, so Vermont and Maine are not on the list.
