2016: 13 Players From Here on NFL Rosters

Editor’s Note:  A couple sharp-eyed readers, Gregg Durrant and Justin Schaeffer, noticed a couple whiffs as soon as this article appeared.  I listed Tony Jefferson as a wide receiver when he is a safety and  overlooked kicker Jason Myers of Jacksonville. I should have caught the error that cited Myers as a Mater Dei/Santa Ana graduate when he is a Mater Dei/Chula Vista alum.

Editor’s Note II:  Bill Dobson, former head coach at Mountain Empire, found another error in the NFL’s list.  Alex Mack attended Santa Barbara San Marcos.

The corrected story appears below:

Thirteen San Diego Section graduates were on active, 53-man  rosters when the regular season began earlier this month, according to the NFL. There were 15 in 2015.

Helix leads all San Diego Section schools with 4 active players, Reggie Bush of Buffalo, Alex Smith of Kansas City, Levine Toilolo of Atlanta, and Jamar Taylor of Cleveland.

Florida’s Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas and Belle Glades Central lead all U.S. schools with 9.  Colton, near St. Bernardino is next with 6.  DeSoto, Texas, Cleveland Glenville, Miami Norland, and Miami Northwestern each has 5.

Florida (202) tops all states, followed by California (192), and Texas (187).  Miami is the leader among cities with 27, followed by Houston (18), Cincinnati (17), and New Orleans (15).
