Texas, Florida and California comprise the Big 3 in high school football, and the Super Bowl rosters in 2025 corroborate those three states' reputation for producing big-time talent.

Forty-one players on the Philadelphia Eagles or Kansas City Chiefs finished their high school football careers in Texas, Florida or California before going on to college.

Thirty-five states and one country/continent (Australia) are represented on the 2025 Super Bowl rosters.

Super Bowl 59 (LIX) starts at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time Sunday at the Superdome in New Orleans (TV on Fox).

Here are all the Eagles and Chiefs on the teams' rosters heading into Sunday, grouped by state in alphabetical order, plus the last high school each player attended and graduation year.

Players on the injured/reserve list are included, but practice squad players are not.
