Can You Name the 119 South Jersey NFL Draft Picks Since 1943?

They've come from tiny schools like Woodbury and Paulsboro and giant schools like Rancocas Valley and Millville.

They've come from as far south as Cape May and as far north as Florence.

They've even come from schools that don't exist anymore, like Kennedy and Edgewood.

There was a Hall of Famer, a Heisman Trophy winner, a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and a bunch of Pro Bowlers.

There was a QB who set an NFL record for highest passer rating in a season, a running back who held the postseason career rushing record for 19 years and a receiver who set an NFL record for yards in a game.

They are among the 119 South Jersey football players who have been selected in the NFL draft going back 71 years, including six this year.

It's an incredible list.

And it doesn't even include dozens of undrafted South Jersey players, from Palmyra's Deron Cherry to Timber Creek's Damiere Byrd.

Before we get to the complete (we think) list of South Jersey draft picks, some stats:

--> The most positions represented are linebacker (19), running back (18), cornerback (12) and defensive end (11).

 --> Colleges with the most South Jersey draft picks are Penn State (19), Temple (9), Miami, North Carolina State and Ohio State (5) and Iowa, Virginia, Wisconsin and Michigan (4).

--> High schools represented the most are Camden, Pennsauken and Rancocas Valley (7), with Woodrow Wilson (6) and Pemberton and Woodbury (5) next.

--> This past draft and the 1984 draft produced the most South Jersey draft picks, with six apiece. Four drafts in the span of six years produced four (1987, 1988, 1989 and 1992).

--> The longest streak of drafts with at least one South Jersey player getting taken is 13, from 1992 through 2004. 

--> More South Jersey football players have been taken in the first round (20) than any other round. The 6th round is the next-most popular (16) and then the 4th round (15). One was even drafted in the 29th round! 

--> The quarterback who led the NFL in passer rating was Milt Plum in 1960, the running back who set an NFL postseason rushing record was Franco Harris and the receiver who set an NFL record for receiving yards was Paulsboro's Flipper Anderson.

Here is a look at the 119 South Jersey NFL draft picks. If you see anybody missing, let us know! 

(p.s. - We didn't include Bordentown Military Institute graduates such as Hall of Famer Floyd Little unless they grew up in South Jersey)
