[QUOTE="JacketFan137, post: 914202, member: 5973"] the one thing i don’t get is the constant banging on about “playing for yourself” vs “playing for the team” every team you are a part of is filled with people playing for themselves in some capacity. no one you work with is doing it out of the kindness of their heart, in football every player at every level is either trying to get to the next level or get a bigger contract. that isn’t really an issue and shouldn’t be looked down on playing for yourself does not necessarily make you a bad teammate. every player should be trying to be the best version of themselves because ultimately that is what helps the team. getting to the nfl has a lot of things but first is necessary physical ability. you aren’t getting there as a corner running a 4.9, or a lineman that is getting 3 reps on bench press. after that then it’s a mix of character and what you put on film. just have to do a lot of things right on and off the field and then show up at the combine [/QUOTE]
