If you want to send them to the CFL or some other league right after high school so they can get paid, then fine.

FOH with that. If they ready for the pros at 19, then they should at least be considered for the NFL. These guys come into college football with NFL bodies. You cant look at Lattimore as a freshman and say dude's game didnt already scream NFL.
40 carries a game increases the odds of it happening, dont defend these shytty coaches for running a blue chip talent into the ground

The game isn't just physical. The system transition from high school to NFL is jarring.
Yeah, and to be honest, I hate the way OU does that too.
THough we're not as bad with it.
But any good runnign back we have, they're gonna give him the ball 25 times a game, plus throw it to him 3-4 times. Even though we always have at least two good backs.
I can see why the NFL doesn't want O/D lineman & LB's to go to the NFL,they aren't ready for that life..
But guys that play skill positions should have that option.A dude like Sammie Watkins should be able to leave after one year.It's not like WR's have to go through a whole hell of a lot of physical maturity to play in the NFL.
