Very many college students have the talent to go to the NFL, but for some reason they could not continue with their education of had a major thing going on in their lives and could not keep up with practice and studies...

So why not give it a search, Thigpen, Wake, Lane they were all pretty solid and didn't go through the draft..

There are around 2000 colleges in the US, most of them with football programs, so let's pretend that 25% of the team are seniors, that would lead to 13 students per school, that's 26,000 football players who graduate each year..

from those 26,000 250 are picked in the draft...

You think that the 25,750 football players who are not drafted are acorns??

Very dumb statement if you asked me!!!

Not a fan of Jeff Ireland by any stretch, but he's done a good job of scouting the CFL and I hope that trend continues.
