I'd like to see that on a red Tee shirt.
😁 True, but teams are made up of individuals so a key player from a great team has more credibility than a player from a worse team, right? .
Not to the NFL.. They are all business. Not fans. And a terrible team could and do have at least a good player.
I was wondering last night how the NFL could really determine whether a player can perform at the next level with enough confidence to pay him 2nd/3rd round money if they have not seen him even perform at the highest level of the NCAA .
If UGA is the best team in college over the past 2 years, wouldn't it make sense that they are also one of the closest approximations to what playing in the NFL will be like? Therefore, if you can play for UGA, isn't it more likely you can play at the next level than if you play at South Dakota State? Conversely, if you have never played against competition like UGA, Bama, Ohio State, etc, how could someone determine with a high degree of certainty how well you might play in the NFL?
I am curious, but I know they have far more info and sophistication that the public and it's their money at risk so it's really just an academic interest for most of us.
A short answer: Jerry Rice
A longer answer: Tyreek Hill - finished up at a DII school IIRC.
If they only picked players from good teams who played good competition that would eliminate many teams. We know there are some nfl players on those other teams. They better than us know who they are. Our trouble is that we are fans. Which leaves us unable to be objective .
Yeah, we really like to think "our" guys are the best, don't we?
Yeah, I see your point. I'm coming at it form the angle of risk and taking a chance on the ability of the player assessors to see something in a player that the player hasn't shown in real time yet. I think that's what you guys call a "flyer" when the pick is made on potential to be developed instead of just his observed performance, right?
