New Orleans' reputation as a fertile football hotbed has been well documented over the years.
Now there's more evidence to support the Crescent City's claim as the greatest producer of football talent in America.
Three New Orleans natives -- New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., Arizona Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu and New York Giants safety Landon Collins -- rank in the top five of Pro Football Focus's annual ranking of the best young players in the NFL. A fourth New Orleanian -- Trai Turner -- was ranked 18th.
