Texas natives Andrew Luck (2012), Baker Mayfield (2018) and Kyler Murray (2019) were all selected No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft within the past 10 years.

The trio joins 18 other quarterbacks that played high school football in the Lone Star State who have heard their names called on draft day since 2010.

Texas edges out Florida (17) and California (16) as the hotbed for producing NFL quarterbacks.

Lake Travis (Austin) is the lone high school to have two former quarterbacks drafted this past decade: Garrett Gilbert (2014) and Mayfield.

In total, 32 states have had at least one quarterback selected in the NFL Draft since 2010. See below for a complete breakdown, including year and overall selection.
