If I was GM/HC of a NFL team, I want a "football player" FIRST. Someone who eat, breathe, sleep football and doesn't look at it as a "business". As GM/HC I don't choose any of those players, no matter how talented, with a high draft pick. I want a "football player" before a "talented player" Quote

This doesn't make any sense to me. They aren't paid any money as it is and they are trying to make sure some day that they will get paid. Clayton Thorson was carted off with a gruesome knee injury in his bowl game, he's lucky he didn't have to come out this year. That would've ruined his draft stock and I doubt he'd even been drafted. The young players have to take care of their future and their families, it's not all about our entertainment. Quote

How about this, any player refusing to play in the Bowl game should reimburse the school for their tuition? Quote

Players have to think about their futures and their families not making more money for a university Quote
Numark3 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 It isn't just a money decision. It is a career decision. They are literally protecting themselves and ensuring they make it to the NFL healthy. Quote
