The average NFL career is short lived and the money well goes dry pretty quick. GB is a place you can play ball for a few years without all the distractions and focus on maximizing that short-lived career.  So many players get themselves into trouble in bigger cities where the fast paced party lifestyle can be destructive to their NFL career.     I know that might not realistically be the mindset of "most" young athletes considering GB as a place to live, but it should be.  How many times have we all seen players living in the fast lane crash and burn? GB is just an old farm road compared to the Los Angeles, New York, Dallas and Houston Expressways to 24-7 trouble.</blockquote>
