Louisiana is a high school football hotbed, pumping out elite talent to the college and professional levels on an annual basis.

We selected 20 of the best to ever take the field in the state, a group that has combined for 14 Super Bowl victories, 78 Pro Bowl selections and seven MVP awards.

Five of the 20 are already in the Hall of Fame and several others are likely to be measured for gold jackets in the near future.
