NFL Has Gone MAD - GoFuckYourself.com

Maurice Clarett was granted eligibility and that led the flood gates to High School seniors. Think I counted 7 below. Now I'm a soccer fan and they get kids as young as 16 or so to try out to be a pro, but playing in the NFL is a whole different ballgame. Think this could hurt the NFL if any of these kids makes a roster, althought I doubt they will.

Every other major sport in the US allows kids right out of high school.

the dilema is that most of these kids would not succeed in college to get a degree and a job, so they use their athletic skills to succeed. the fact that theres millions of dollars waiting for them at the age of 18 forces them to take a material route.

hell if i had millions dangling in front of me at 18 i would've taken it without even thinking twice about college

hell i'm all for the $$ as well, thing is and you mentioned it once they declare and sign a agent they can't go to college and play football and really hurting their chances of ever playing in the NFL because scouts won't see them.

i also think the NFL is the one sport where the leap is HUGE from H.S. or College to the pro level.

what's the use get a degree and start off at 30 a years plus loans, or millions..umm let me think..these schools make millions off them so why not get paid for your god given gift..even though making majors is like million to 1..and how can you study when you got partice 4 times a week games 3 times a week w./collgeg b0ball...some of them some that excell at both

making the jump to high school to the pros in football won't happen that much..if you're a star you can get paid at college..they'll spend some chesse to get in their program..the NFL is way faster then they'll imagine not too many well i doubt any GM would risk drating a high school kid for football....baseall,basketball is way different

They reall should think about going to college.

I can't imagine how any player could go from HS to Pro in football. The whole game changes, I don't see how any HS kid would be able to step foot on a pro field and not get his head ripped off.

Some of those kids are just too fucking good at their sport. They deserve it just like LeBron James.

Yea but there was no hype on any H.S. kids for pro football, plus NFL scouts don't scout H.S. games, they look at college games so these kids are taking a HUGE risk.
