More than 130 former Georgia high school players on NFL rosters

This could be the first season that All-Pro safety Eric Berry won’t play an NFL game. The former Creekside star is a free agent. Another former All-Pro defensive back from Georgia, Adam “Pacman” Jones of Westlake, has retired after 12 seasons. Offensive lineman Clint Boling of Chattahoochee also retired after eight seasons.

But there are some 18 former Georgia players set to make their NFL debuts. Those include Stephenson’s Montez Sweat, a first-round pick of the Washington Redskins, and former AJC Super 11 players Tre Lamar of Roswell, Ken Webster of Stockbridge and Mecole Hardman of Elbert County.

The NFL team with the most Georgia players is the New York Giants with nine. The home-state Falcons have six. The Philadelphia Eagles are the only NFL team with no Georgia players.

The NFL has not released the totals by state, but it is likely that Georgia ranks fourth in players, as it did in 2018. According to the NFL, Georgia had 123 players on 2018 opening-week rosters. That trailed Florida (211), California (185) and Texas (175) and led fifth-place Ohio (76).

The list below includes Georgia players on 53-man rosters, injured reserve or suspended lists. They do not include those on practice squads.

NFL rosters change daily, and NFL high school data must be researched, as it is not provided officially by the league. We welcome notice of omissions or mistakes and will update this list accordingly on AJC.com.
