Continuing a talent drain that has persisted the past several years, alumni of Palm Beach County high schools took up only 10 spots on NFL rosters in the league’s opening weekend.
Broward had 48 representatives, and Miami-Dade had 33.
Palm Beach has seen a 44% plummet from its 2021 number of 18 NFLers on Week 1.
