The All-Time NFL Team from the State of California

California has always been known for producing some of the greatest players to ever put on pads.

Recruiters come from all over the country and try to recruit some of the best young football players in the state loaded with talent.

But what if all of the greatest players to come out of California were on one "super" team?

The requirements are pretty simple, they had to be great at their position, and they had to be born in the state of California.

If you've ever wondered, here's what it would look like.

Teams: Detroit Lions, Kansas City Chiefs and Seattle Seahawks

Stats: 35.5 sacks, three interceptions, 18 fumble recoveries, and 546 tackles

Accomplishments: Defensive Player of the Year, 12-time Pro Bowl selection, 10-time All-Pro and NFL 1990s All-Decade team

Years in the League: 12

Teams: Houston Oilers/Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks
