All the excellent ones.
Really the two best states for producing NFL talent per capita are Louisiana and Mississippi. Florida produces the most overall. The South is where most of the players come from. The rest seem to come from Texas, NE Ohio and Western PA.
Dont’ really know the actual percentage, but California produces the most NFL players, followed by Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Ohio. Here’s a link that breaks it down by state:

Perhaps 80-85 percent.
