157 former Georgia high school players on NFL rosters

More than 150 former Georgia high school football players are on active NFL rosters or injured reserve ahead of the league’s first game Thursday between the Chiefs and the Ravens, according to GHSF Daily research.

GHSF Daily’s count is 157, which is six ahead of last year’s total that ranked fourth among states behind Texas, Florida and California and twice that of any other state. About one in 12 NFL players played high school football in Georgia, which finished first in NFL players per capita last season.

Every NFL team has at least one Georgia player, and the Packers have the most with 12. The Bengals are next with 10. The Falcons have seven, tied with three other teams for third-most.

About 20 Georgia NFL players are rookies. They include 2023 first-round picks Amarius Mims of Bleckley County and Nate Wiggins of Westlake. The school with the most current NFL players is Hillgrove with five. Marietta, Norcross and Peachtree Ridge have four apiece.

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

As NFL rosters are fluid and difficult to research for players' high schools, there may be errors or omissions. Please report them and we will update this list.
