[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 164318, member: 2175"] You are right of course, and the cash is a big deal, if he still has it -- that is not meant to be smarmy but to acknowledge the reality of so many of those draft picks. Often bankrupt within three years of leaving the league, but to fly so high, from a decidedly mixed college career to a stunning combine performance in which the guy who could not be counted on to catch gimmes in college, didn't have a drop, and to his very first NFL game with two TD catches. Then traveling the circuit and on taxi squads within three years, and now probably out forever. He would not be human if he didn't have great regrets his whole life. That is the real crash. And as we working stiffs know whatever he had left of the signing bonuses and salaries after taxes, not to mention his Mercedes, will not go very far. He needs to get back in school, if not GT, somewhere, and get that degree. In conservative estimates it is said a college graduate will earn more than $850,000 more than a non-degreed employee in a 40-year work span. He can crash but he doesn't have to burn. [/QUOTE]
