National Football Player Rankings - Who made it from the Lou?
The St. Louis area is among one of the best metropolitan areas producing high-level football players in the Midwest and is secretly becoming one of the best-kept secrets in the country. Forgive me for defying what smart people tell young athletes; it’s not about rankings. True. However, today I want to show the public how much Rivals and 247Sports, two national recruiting websites think about the massive talent coming out of St. Louis. Off we go.
