Shedeur Sanders, EJ Smith, and Marvin Harrison Jr. lead the list of 10 selected.

Of the 10 players selected three have Hall of Fame fathers with 55 Pro Bowls and seven Super Bowl wins combined.

Their offspring on the same path — seven of the 10 are at least 4-star talents and the other three are on the cusp. They hail from Texas, California, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Washington.

St. Joseph's Prep (Philadelphia) was the only school to have more than one player on the list as Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Marvin Harrison Jr. both made it.
