Ok fine. Don't play college football and not have a shot at the NFL. I'm sure they'll all become doctors and lawyers. That'll solve it.

I played college football and I can tell you that the biggest fallacy among fans are that EVERY football player has a shot at the NFL? Less than 0.03% of HS players will ever make an NFL roster. Less than 0.0015% will play more than 3 years.

We watch over 70,000 college football players play each Saturday. Less than 300 will get a look at the NFL. Do you call that a legitimate shot? It's more like the lottery.

But somehow so many people think it is easier for them to make the NFL than being a doctor or lawyer?

I can't tell you how many people have come up to me in my lifetime to ask "did you play football". Their very next sentence is "did you play in the NFL".
