More than 140 former Georgia high school players on active NFL rosters

More than 140 former Georgia high school football players are on active NFL rosters ahead of the league’s first game Thursday between the Chiefs and the Lions.

Every NFL team has at least one Georgia player, and the Falcons have the most with nine. The Ravens are next with eight. The reigning champion Chiefs have six.

The roughly 150 Georgia players on active rosters is similar to last year’s total, which ranked fourth among states behind Texas, Florida and California and twice that of any other state.

Twenty-nine Georgia NFL players, or about one in five, are rookies. They include 2023 first-round picks Will Anderson of Dutchtown, Jahmyr Gibbs of Dalton, Broderick Jones of Lithonia, Myles Murphy of Hillgrove and Nolan Smith of Calvary Day.

In with the new has its downside, though. Some longtime Georgia players recently cut were Bradley Roby of Peachtree Ridge, Reshard Perriman of Arabia Mountain, Cameron Erving of Colquitt County and Kenyan Drake of Hillgrove.

Norcross has the most Georgia NFL players with five. One is Robert Beal, who did not play his senior season and graduated from Peachtree Ridge.

Greater Atlanta Christian, Hillgrove and Peachtree Ridge have four NFL players apiece.

The list below includes active, injured and suspended players as of noon Tuesday. It does not include practice-squad players.

GHSF Daily researches and compiles the list. The NFL does not provide lists of players by state, and rosters are fluid, so omissions and errors are inevitable. Any reported to us will be updated on our website and on ajc.com.

(IJ - Injured reserve. SUS - Suspended list. HO - Holdout.)
