There were 19 players each from Houston (Texas) and Miami (Florida) high schools on Kickoff Weekend rosters, tied for the most of any city. Detroit (Michigan) produced the third-most players (16) in 2022 followed by Tampa (Florida) with 15 players.

“Coming from Miami–the competition is just different,” said Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper. “There is a high-level of competition, so by the time you get to college a lot of guys from other states have a huge adjustment period because the game speeds up for them. What I have noticed from my experience and talking to a lot of other Miami guys is that they never have that adjustment period going into college. As a matter of fact, some guys say that when they get to college, things get a little bit easier because they played against so many rising stars from other states growing up as opposed to just playing against people in the Miami area. The high level of competition playing football in Miami prepares us for the next level.”

“High school football is the foundation for the development of our sport,” said Roman Oben, NFL Vice President of Football Development and Gonzaga College High School (Washington, DC) & Fork Union (VA) Military Academy Alum. “We are excited to see the growth of players coming to the NFL from the traditional states that produce many college and NFL players, but extremely excited to see athletes making teams from the nontraditional regions, because it takes talent from all areas to make up the Kickoff Weekend roster.”
