Just got an e-mail from USA football, which studied the opening-weekend rosters for each NFL team and came up with some interesting facts.
First, states that produced the most NFL players.
Ohio is fourth, with 90, behind California, Texas and Florida.

Alabama (53)
South Carolina (51)
Virginia (51)

The state of Ohio has always been a talent pool breeding ground for some of the best football players in America. Research shows a large number of Hall of Famer’s in Canton are from Ohio as well. Look out for the book: FOOTBALL IN OHIO “The Tradition and passion from pee wee to the pros” trademark and copywrite protected The book, Football In Ohio will bring the respect and honor back to the Ohio football culture nationally.

Yeah, but how many of the 90 (less than half Cal and about half Tex) are from the old days of the NFL? The days before it even mattered? Quite a few, I would suspect!
