[QUOTE="AmishMafia, post: 365973, member: 2846"] Well put Derga. The biggest variable is the one us fans cannot determine and that is commitment. The player can be extremely committed in college, but what is going to happen when some NFL team hands him a check for $12M? Or even $300k for that matter. Many of these kids grew up lower income and suddenly a world of opportunity will open to them. They can now travel, buy great cars, have lavish parties, get a great home with a pool, etc. And what impoverished person would not want to show off at least a little when they suddenly 'make it'? And all of these things will take them away from working out. How will they react? Trick is finding the kids who have the work ethic and the love for the game. Money is a very small benefit when compared to the opportunity to play and compete. These are the kids that are going to continue physically pushing themselves and committing themselves to study. Jamarcus Russell could have been the greatest QB of all time. He had off the chart physical attributes. Problem is: he didn't really care to be the best. He cashed in and that was that. [/QUOTE]
