I think that's just the case of more people playing football = more draftable players. That number should keep climbing every year as the U.S. population does.

This assumes young kids continue to play football at traditional rates. Which I don't think you can take for granted as evidence mounts about how badly it destroys your life. But that's going to take a while to materialize (if it ever does). There's plenty of talent in the pipeline for the foreseeable future.

It's about players leaving college early, not more people playing football or more players in the draft (either of which may not even be true). It says that right there. They're smart to leave college early, depending on position it could end up leading to tens of millions of extra dollars down the road. Allows you to get to your first real contract earlier and also start getting decent money on the rookie contract. Every college game you play has a chance to derail your career with injury and is also losing you money unless you're rocketing up the draft boards.

I really think he should do football. Despite being the 9th pick in the MLB draft he hasn't even played that much baseball and could be a long way from the major leagues. Possible he never even gets there. This coming draft is honestly perfect for him, given the lack of QB talent I could totally see a team claiming him in the first round as the first or second QB off the board. The height is the main thing that could prevent that, but it will spark an interesting conversation about how tall you actually need to be to play quarterback professionally. Either way he's an electric player that I really, really want to see starting games in the NFL.

Play posted:What? It's about players leaving college early, not more people playing football or more players in the draft (either of which may not even be true). It says that right there. The money for leaving early and getting drafted late is awful compared to staying an extra year and getting drafted earlier. Differences of 400k between third and 7th round. Makes no sense to declare early if there's more competition to get drafted. What you're probably seeing is so many more 4 and 5 star recruits going to these big D1 schools and pushing out the last crop of 4 and 5 star recruits. College football players have been improving on measureables every year at the combine, it stands to reason that there's a ton more NFL worthy players out there now which means more people for the draft.

Yes being a 190 pound twig or whatever getting hit by guys who are way bigger than you going full speed is an actual concern. Not being able to see over the oline isnt a real concern because no prospect has been short enough for that to be a real thing. Height does not correlate to weight like you think it does the human body is way more complicated than your quick wiki search will say

Height doesn't matter much as bone structure and genetics when it comes to distribution of weight, nor does being taller correlate to being heavier. In fact it's usually quite the opposite: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5072155/ https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0030153 Murray's a tiny dude and it has nothing to do with his height.

If he excels at Baseball and is A-Rod level, he gets a 20 year career at like 25 mill per year. At the low end, it's a couple million bucks...but you get a chance at 20 year career. If you go for the NFL you get damaged permanently and have, maybe, 5-10 year career so you get rookie + big contract if you're lucky. Baseball, if you love your family and wife, you get to travel the US together or whatever for 9 months out of the year. If you hate each other, you get to travel and cheat on your wife while she cheats on you for 20 years for 9 months of the year. Baseball's the smart money compared to Football. Basketball with the most merchandise options and system to get more money outside of the sport and don't get the wear and tear plus the thirst.

it sounds like he's worked his entire life to become a professional athlete and was leaning toward baseball in the recent past, but maybe that was always just a play to up his draft stock. idk. guys who aren't interested in baseball don't usually have Scott Boras representing them

I suppose if he was a pitcher, that pitcher money would be much more appealing ie Jeff Smardzidja? I dunno. I'm still crazy impressed by anyone who can get drafted into two different professional sports. I don't know a ton about his history, is he considered a better QB or OF?

Judging from his college stats it looks like he has the potential to make it as a speed/power guy who might hit for average (that's very valuable). Problem is it's really hard to predict college to minor leagues to major leagues. Usually guys who have a higher chance of making it in the MLB hit consistently for a while before getting called up. Kyler has two years of college baseball. One was dreadful, one was pretty good. As a QB who knows. We've all see the shows he's been putting on and we also saw what happened in the bowl game when he faces non Big 12 defenses.
