With most of the 2024 offseason mostly complete, HighSchoolOT has refreshed its list of active NFL players that got their start at a high school in North Carolina. There are currently players that on a contract with an NFL squad.

North Carolina has produced a lot of football talent and dozens of former North Carolina high school football players are now playing professionally in the National Football League.

HighSchoolOT has covered high school football in North Carolina since 2008, meaning many of the NFL players from North Carolina appeared on HighSchoolOT before they were in the NFL.

Each season, we track the players from North Carolina across all 32 NFL rosters, whether they are on the active roster, practice squad, or a reserve list.

Here's a list, broken down by each NFL team.

Are we missing anyone? There are a lot of NFL players from North Carolina, so it can be hard to keep track of. Send us an email at HighSchoolOT@wral.com with any corrections. Note: This list does not include tryout players/camp invites, only players signed to contracts.
