re: How do we keep our boys in school

Many of our players have left early and had unexpected success in the NFL. That's a huge motivator for guys to leave early. We've had some guys go to the draft that ended up surprising even our fans when they were able to get coached up in the NFL and make significant impact at that level. So even if they aren't first rounders, these underclassmen think they can do what others before them have done at the professional level. And eventually they'll make really good money. They're rolling the dice on their skills and betting they can pan out like other players have done.

And with the instability on defense with a new DC coming in, it makes it even more attractive.

Guess we shouldn't have so many guys in the NFL tearin' it up....
