The 10 Best States for NFL Talent

5. Mississippi

CarAV: 914

Of all the states, Mississippi might not be the best, but it is one of the more impressive ones. Jerry Rice headlines the group with a ridiculous career AV of 159 along with 13 Pro Bowls and 3 Super Bowl rings. In his 20 seasons, the GOAT of receiving tallied 197 touchdowns and nearly 23,000 yards on his way to Canton.

From the pass catcher to the pass thrower, Brett Favre is right behind Rice with a 156 career AV. Across 20 years as an NFL quarterback, the gunslinger threw 508 touchdowns meanwhile earning himself MVP, Super Bowl and Hall of Fame honors.

Joining Favre, the late Steve McNair was also a force to be reckoned with. The long-time dual-threat quarterback threw for over 31,000 yards and ran for more than 3,500 in 13 seasons. He was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and one-time MVP winner.
