The NFL playoffs are here once again.
With its reputation for producing some of the best football players in the country, it is no surprise that Texas high school football once again has had its fingerprints on nearly every NFL team in the postseason.
There are 31 players who hail from a Dallas-area high school about to take the field for the playoffs. There are eight teams with three or more local products, with the Rams setting the high mark with four. That includes perhaps the highest-profile player from Dallas, Super Bowl-winning quarterback Matthew Stafford.
Below you’ll find a list of every former Dallas-area athlete (some of whom are on the injured or restricted list) in the hunt for the Super Bowl.
