These famous New Jersey athletes have made us proud playing professional sports
🏀 New Jersey has produced some of the most talented athletes in professional sports
🏀 Some of them have gone on to win championships or be inducted into a hall of fame
🏀 There are current New Jersey athletes who will achieve superstardom
It may sometimes get overlooked, but there are a lot of professional athletes current and former who got their start in New Jersey.
Naturally, the amount of athletes who play in college is smaller than those who play in high school and it's an even smaller amount of people who go on to play professional sports.
The fact that so many athletes have gone on to the professional ranks in their sport should impress and should also hope to inspire the many young athletes who aspire to reach that plateau themselves one day.
