A total of 245 high schools contributed to the 252 players selected in the seven rounds of the 2008 NFL Draft on April 26-27, USA Football announced today.

There were seven schools that had two players each taken. Two of those schools produced a first-round choice -- Los

One of the high school player duos won back-to-back Louisiana State 5A Championships before moving on to stellar
college careers that included BCS national championships.
