Which region produces the most NFL quarterbacks?

by Aaron on Jan.27, 2012, under News

SI.com has an interesting article that breaks down the quarterback position. One glaring note from the article is the SEC states rank fourth in the NFL quarterbacks currently. In fact, there are currently 18 quarterbacks from SEC states on NFL rosters. Why do the SEC states not produce more NFL quarterbacks? The article points out style of play and speaks to the athleticism of players in the south. Next year, UK will have four quarterbacks on scholarship. Only two will have come from SEC states.
