. He felt "his opinion, but he said it is shared by many scouts but most can't or won't admit it" that they are playing for free in the NFL if they are earning the league mins.

From the team's point of view but not from the players.

You are 100% correct but he feels that if shown the true prospects of what they will really earn, because he feels most agents aren't truthful and letting the kids know that they are probably going to earn the league mins, as opposed to staying in school moving up the draft board and then what they will earn. He feels if you are an underclassmen with talent and you are a mid-rounder in the draft your natural projection up the board the following year is the difference between millions of dollars. He said at the end of the day it is a business and should be looked at it like that. But if the agents don't sign a player that year, nothing says he will get him signed the following year. So they lie their asses off!!!!
