Want to be picked in the NFL draft? Move to Rock Hill, S.C.

Great article on this area of SC. I know, should be in the Rock Hill Forum but there are so many Carolina players, thought it would make more sense here.

Per capita, South Carolina is #4 in the nation at producing NFL players. That number changes year to year, but SC, on average, is almost always at #4 for per capita number of NFL players any given year behind #1 Louisiana, #2 Mississippi and #3 Hawaii (surprisingly).

The Rock Hill area is a fertile recruiting ground for big time college football players. So is Spartanburg County, Berkeley County, Richland County, Lexington County, Horry County.

Charleston area may have 3 pro bowlers next year: Cincy WR AJ Green, Cincy DE Carlos Dunlap, and St Louis DE Robert Quinn. Charleston is also home of 1 of 2 Hall of Famers from SC, Art Shell (other is Harry Carson), as well as former #1 overall pick DE Courtney Brown in 2000.

SC is an outstanding state for producing top football players.
