The NFL isn't the end all be all. There's a reason why Saban said bump them.
That's Saban, not Deion. Guys like Deion are not amateurs. Guys like Deion always have to run things and compete at the highest level.
This whole run, since Jackson State, with all the cameras, the pro-style offenses, the analysts, and so on, has been a resume for the NFL.
You gotta trust your boy on this.
