The State of Georgia had 30 players drafted while Florida had 37 players drafted. Florida's population is almost double that of Georgia, though I I don't have the numbers for high school age kids. Most of the guys drafted fall into 1 of 3 counties in GA (Cobb, Gwinnett or Fulton).
Public and private schools in the Atlanta city limits had 4 drafted. Gwinnett County is in metro Atlanta had at least 4 drafted as well.
Lived in Atlanta.....grew up in s.fla....
SH*t is TOTALLY different down here regarding football......Though i would like um to hit the metro atlanta every year for a prospect...
Some powerhouse teams in the metro atlanta area....though and i consider ga the 3rd-4th Best football state on a year in out basis behind FL/TX/CA.
Northside beat Booker T in 2008

Camden County beat Miami Central in 2010
Booker T beat Norcross in 2013
Miami Central beat Stephenson in 2014
I know there are more but the point is FL isn't as far ahead of GA as everyone makes it out to be. At the end of the day it is a fact that 37 from Florida and 30 from Georgia were drafted. Florida has almost twice the population as GA which means a player born in GA is more likely to get drafted than one born in Florida. While I don't have the numbers I know FL produces a lot more D1 football players so I guess the real question is which one is true, either Florida high schools despite being the best are slightly over rated or players from GA are under rated.
