GTFOH one of the starting QBs in the XFL was working construction and hadn't played football in several years until the XFL offered him a spot. Do you realistically think a top rated high school recruit would be more of a risk??


Yes. It’s moronic. And you chose one position

That player you mentioned is a grown man with FAR more experience.

Oh. Btw, grown men tend not to follow 18 year high school qbs who can’t even get a beer.

wouldn't be the smartest thing for the player to do but wouldn't be the dumbest thing for the XFL to do


Yes it would. You don’t pay for players to sit and develop. They aren’t college. This is the pros.

you realistically think one of the top rated high school players couldn't crack the 2 deep of a XFL roster?


I know that a huge percentage wouldn’t.

Metcalf showed up at Ole Miss looking like he does now, do you think he couldn't have made it in the XFL?



Metcalf had 2 receptions as a freshmen. So, you want a good player to go to a league where you think he could dominate when he can’t do that in college.

Let me help you out. Top players want top money. They want to face the best so that they can get better.

That ain’t happening in the XFL. And if you are betting on yourself then the far smarter bet is going to college.

The amount of exposure the XFL would get for having one of the top rated high school recruits would be ridiculous


No it wouldn’t. The vast majority of pro fans don’t know top high school recruits. You know them because you care about college.
