Because most NFL RB's never sniff 30

What, they die at 29?

I get what you're saying, his NFL career will be over before he hits 30. We've been through the arguments on why many players should stay in school and how later round money isn't what they think it will be, but this is NOT one of those situations. Blue was a player who probably made the right move by entering the draft, he has a good contract and a good opportunity here, and he has the potential to be well ahead in life. Who says that he has to retire at 30? When he finishes his NFL career, he can get a job like everyone else. Having represented himself and LSU well while he was here, doors will be open for him in Louisiana after his playing days are over.
