Building a Football Team From 29 US States

Just when you thought I couldn't find anything dumber to write about I go and write something like this. The title is exactly what I will be doing. I will be building my all star football roster out of states.

I'll attempt to go into detail about why each pick is fitting in their respective positions. I expect this article to get very contentious and want to let the people know I embrace debate. If/when this breaks the internet remember I don't always have takes you agree with, I just have the correct ones.

Also shoutout to the boys at Jomboy Media for the idea. I highly recommend people check out the baseball version they did.

Offense

Let the record show that no proper offense is complete without a fullback. My team will be comprised of the following positions: QB, HB, FB, LT, LG, C, RG, RT, TE, WR1, WR2. I want a dynamic offense that has some flash but isn't afraid to play physical football. Let's see the picks.

QB: California

Quarterback was a tough one, and I hate hyping up Cali too much, but it had to be the Golden State. Just has that tall, long prototypical build you look for in a quarterback. Definitely one of the more handsome players on the team which is important when choosing a quarterback. I think this titan of the country will thrive in our system considering it quite literally invented the west coast offense.

HONORABLE MENTION: Tennessee

Sorry Tennessee, I think with some years to mature maybe you'll have a spot but for now it's not a risk I'm willing to take.

FB: Nebraska

HB: Ohio

LT: Wisconsin

LG and RG: Alaska and Montana

C: Maine

RT: Minnesota

TE: Iowa

WR1; Alabama

WR2: Nevada

Defense:

When building my defense we're looking for guys who are gonna be mean and nasty out here. I want opposing teams (not sure who these teams are, maybe I'll make a Europe version of this) to absolutely fearing going up against this army of monsters. You play us you better be ready to get hit hard.

CB: Louisiana

I want my corners to be some crazy, wily, quick bastards out there. I'm ecstatic about the two corners I picked up. You know that there's some special Bayou athleticism and some special New Orleans drunkenness. You're not getting by Louisiana, and good luck throwing at him because he's running that ball back to the house.

CB: West Virginia

S: Florida

S: Virginia

OLB: Michigan

ILB: Texas

OLB: Oklahoma

DE: Illinois

DE: MIssouri

DT: Georgia

DT: Pennsylvania

Special Teams

I recognize that the game is made up of 3 phases of equal importance. Can't sleep on the position group so important that they call it special. My key identity piece for my special teams unit is that they're gonna be weird. I think that's about all it takes for good special teams.

Punter: New Mexico

I think New Mexico fits the mold of a weird state. Considering the popularity of soccer in classic Mexico I'm hoping maybe there's some spillover to the New (stolen) version. I also think New Mexico has some decent size to it and could lay down the boomstick in case of emergency.

Kicker: Vermont

Long Snapper: Wyoming

Holder: Utah

KR: Maryland

PR: Hawaii

Hydration Engineer: Rhode Island

So that's the squad. I mean I don't see a weak link on this roster, especially at Long Snapper. I can't wait to hear everyone else's incorrect opinions on the issue. This roster yet again proves that America is the greatest American Football playing country. WOOOO!!! WE DID IT!!!! WE"RE THE BEST AT OUR OWN SPORT!!!! USA! USA! USA!
