Las Vegas Well Represented In 2023 NFL Draft

It's a very important day for a lot of reasons...including those hoping to be drafted into the NFL! It seems that Las Vegas is well represented in the 2023 NFL Draft! Going from a local high school to college is one thing. But making it into the National Football League is a whole other level!

Las Vegas high schools have sent quite a few players into the NFL and this year might not be that different. Just last year alone we saw a few high school products moving on with help from the NFL draft. It's not easy, but some do make it and go on to have a great career. Names like Frank Hawkins from Western High School, who went onto play for the Oakland Raiders. Gerald Riggs name also comes up. Riggs played at Bonanza High School and had a great career with the Atlanta Falcons and Washington.

Some of the names being mentioned in this years draft? Darnell Washington, who ended up at the University of Georgia, and went to Desert Pines High School. Washington is a 6'7", 269lbs tight end who won two National Championships playing at UGA.

Another name popping up is Dalton Kincaid. After attending Faith Lutheran High School, Kincaid ended up at the University of Utah. Standing in at 6'4" and 240lbs, it seems he is the radar of a few teams.

One other Las Vegan to keep an eye on will be Dorian Thompson-Robinson. After playing at Bishop Gorman High School, this standout quarterback headed to Southern California to play for UCLA! It's there that Dorian played for 5 years and got himself ready to enter this year's draft.

All in all, there are about ten to eleven other talented athletes prepped for the draft over the next few days. So, good luck to all those from Las Vegas and Nevada for that matter in NFL draft this year!

With the Big Game coming up, we think knowing which cities are the best or worst for football fans! Football isn't just a game for people or it's fans. For some, it's a almost like religion. They need to watch every game, be at every game, and buy their teams items to show support! In the United States, Football is the most popular sport! WalletHub found that 62% of Americans consider themselves a fan of football. 54% said the same about college football!

Some fans go way overboard to show their loyalty or support for their team. Some turn their homes into shrines for their teams. Others dress up or sport their teams colors and logos! Every year the results could change based on how well the teams do, but for the most part the results to alter too much.

There are cities who go over the top for their teams. Some of those cities even have college teams as well! WalletHub compared over 200 cities that have either a professional football team, college team, or both, and came up with a list of the best and worst cities for football fans.

Las Vegas ranked #20 overall but #18 in pro football! Sadly our UNLV Runnin' Rebels, the city fans ranked #233 for college.

As a Steelers fan, I won't ever deny this. Pittsburgh has not only the Steelers but a huge college football fanbase as well! From Pitt to Penn State. In fact they ranked #1 for pro football and ranked #10 for college football!

Cheese heads unite! Green Bay Packers come in at #2 for pro football. As far as college football, they're fan base ranked #240!

Dallas, Texas may have a  lot of haters towards their teams, but when it comes to their city loving and supporting their teams, they ranked #3 for pro football with the Dallas Cowboys. As for college, not so much. They tied the Green Bay at #240.

This one was surprising! With the amount of fans the New England Patriots have, you would think they'd be higher up. Especially with their successful run with Tom Brady! But as far as the city ranked for fans, they came in at #4! As for college, they came in at #194.

Another surprising result. With L.A. having two teams playing in their city, the L.A. Rams and the L.A. Chargers, you would think they would be higher. Yes, the two teams are rivals, but that makes the city more of a football city! They came in at #5 for pro and for college, this isn't shocking...#37!
