[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 754209, member: 844"] Hard to argue with that data. And I don't begrudge kids being all in on their dreams to play pro ball either. You only get one shot as Marshall Mathers says.The PGA guys have been working at their craft since they were small kids. So too the guys playing at the top levels of soccer in the world. The old days of a guy like Lee Trevino picking up a sport while in the Army and becoming one of the best in the world are long gone I am afraid. On a tangential note, this is why I like the idea of recruiting guys who have been at their positions for years (CB,QB,WR, LB, etc.) instead of recruiting athletes and fitting them into spots. The learning curve is painful. I get that most of the best athletes are probably playing QB at a lot of HS's, but in this age of specialization you can get stuck behind the curve. I know I will get slammed for this for picking an outlier but one of the things (among many) that make Trevor special is that he has groomed to be a QB for years. And in HS he wasn't asked to also play WR and safety too. [/QUOTE]
