Im pretty sure Mississippi hold or held the per capita title for a long time. Louisiana has been a solid second in per capita NFL player production for a while. Also Louisiana has 1.6million more people.
and you would be wrong. it's the other way around.
"The most impressive showing is by Louisiana, which ranked 25th in total population but has the sixth-most high school players in the NFL. The Pelican State has the highest per-capita rate of NFL players (1 in 65,720) followed by Mississippi (1 in 76,883) and Hawaii (1 in 80,769). By comparison, California's rate is 1 in 175,163."

Too bad Louisiana doesn't have higher rated teams in the national polls. Then again, THAT doesn't really matter
