The (in terms of where they went to high school) in the 2015 were Florida, Georgia, and California and Texas. Indeed, almost half the draftees were from those four states.While those four states produced the most players in this year's draft, just look at what will be on college fields this season from those states. and hail from those states.We decided to put together a full starting 22 of current college football players from each of those states, and here's what we came up with.CaliforniaOverview: There's an extremely good offensive backfield, a better-than-it-looks secondary and some stars in the offensive line (Max Tuerk is the best center in the nation) and at linebacker (Scooby Wright is a big-play machine). Overall, though, this looks to be

One thing: Florida, Florida State and Miami lost some stud undercla smen who would've been on this list, as did USC ( and ). All four members of the defensive line are from south Florida -- and just one of them stayed in-state. Both wide receivers are sophomores, and QB Jacoby Bri sett is inconsistent. This team is third-best among our quartet.OffenseQB Jacoby Bri sett, North Carolina StateHigh school: Palm Beach Gardens DwyerRB Dalvin Cook, Florida StateHigh school: Miami CentralRB Derrick Henry, AlabamaHigh school: YuleeWR Charles Nelson, OregonHigh school: Daytona Beach SeabreezeWR Artavis Scott, ClemsonHigh school: Tarpon Springs East LakeTE Jonnu Smith, Florida InternationalHigh school: Ocala West PortOT John Theus, GeorgiaHigh school: Jacksonville BollesOT Laremy Tunsil, Mi si sippiHigh school: Lake City ColumbiaG Trey Braun, Georgia TechHigh school: Tallaha see LeonG Denver Kirkland, ArkansasHigh school: Miami WashingtonC Ty Darlington, OklahomaHigh school: ApopkaDefenseDE Joey Bosa, Ohio StateHigh school: Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas AquinasDT Luther Maddy, Virginia TechHigh school: Delray Beach AtlanticDT Nile Lawrence-Stample, Florida StateHigh school: Fort Lauderdale NovaDE Dadi Nicolas, Virginia TechHigh school: Delray Beach AtlanticLB Skai Moore, South CarolinaHigh school: Fort Lauderdale University SchoolLB Curt Maggitt, Tenne seeHigh school: Palm Beach Gardens DwyerLB Eric Striker, OklahomaHigh school: Seffner ArmwoodCB Vernon Hargreaves III,

The same goes for the wide receivers. But Deshaun Watson and Nick Chubb make for an interesting 1-2 punch in the backfield, and there is talent along the defensive line and in the secondary, too.

The secondary is solid, and Pete Robertson is a big-play guy. But it's the defensive line that stands out. If that unit actually was put on the field at one time for one team -- my goodne s.
