Message: [QUOTE="suloyalfan, post: 907852, member: 397"] That is also true, HOWEVER, the number of players entering college each year (~3,000 just in FBS) is much greater than the number making an NFL roster each year (roughly 224 drafted, a handful of free agents, and not all make rosters)... the cream is supposed to rise to the top. So, given that the NFL is a collection of elite players, it would stand to reason that most of the players would have been the best players coming out of high school too... however, we all know that being a star in high school does not grant you direct access to the NFL... you have to actually develop in college to take the next step.
