[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 914217, member: 2957"] Ironically, to make it in the NFL, you also have to be a good student. I was speaking to a coach about this last year. Unless you are a running back, athletes who don't do well in school make poor candidates for the pros. Seems as if the playbooks are ginormous and the complexity of today's game is far beyond "Tote that ball over there." Draft picks have to have the discipline to study the game. Like a professional. And those skills are learned in school. Running backs (according to him), have such a short life that you just ram into the defense 35 x a game for 4 years and you draft a new one. [/QUOTE]
