This might be a bit off topic, but I think it would be cool to know. Has anyone come across stats or records showing the high school that's produced the most NFL players?
While specific numbers tend to fluctuate due to NFL draft updates and trades, there are a few high schools renowned for producing a significant number of NFL players. St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Florida, Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California, and Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia frequently rank highly in these types of lists.
St. Thomas Aquinas, for instance, has been particularly prolific, having reportedly produced over 20 NFL players, with notable alumni including Michael Irvin, Geno Atkins, and Joey Bosa.
Long Beach Polytechnic too has a rich history of sending players to the NFL, boasting roughly the same number of athletes who made it professional. Some notable alumni include DeSean Jackson and Jurrell Casey.
Fork Union Military Academy, although lesser-known than the others, has fostered the athletic development of multiple future NFL players, including Vinny Testaverde, Michael Thomas, and Eddie George.
To have the most accurate information, I would recommend checking websites like Pro-Football-Reference, as they usually keep an updated database of NFL players and their high school alma maters.
