Players who attended high school in 39 of the 50 states were selected in this draft; Florida and California led the way with 27 draftees each. South Carolina contributed the most drafted players on a per capita basis with 13 players, or one of every 355,798 residents of the state.〔 Among colleges, Florida State lead the way with 11 players selected.
