20 or 3 years after graduating from HS (not including Prep School)

Go look at the heights and weights of recruits if you think 18 year olds could play

Cool...Let them enter the draft out of high school or spend 4 yrs in college. If the NFL doesn't agree tell them the ncaa will start paying their players and not require them to go to class.

Lol at you thinking the ncaa is in position to do anything

So let me hear the NFL's position fellow?

Depends on the position. You can't put your pinky on the helmet of a QB anymore. You can't get lit up doing a crossing route as a WR. I'd say put your name in the draft and the GMs will decide.

Hard to say last year Kyle Pitts coulda been a first rounder..
Jamarr Chase def could have
Those 2 will still ball out crazy when they get there imo so idk
So yea some are more ready more then others
OL tho and DL for the most part nah. Takes them time to adjust to college
Also certain RBs like Dalvin Cook he was ready early imo also Mcgahee and Gore prob Portis and Edge too
Idk why I'm naming so many Miami guys but I believe they're career is better if they leave early or some
Lattimore comes to mind too poor guy

After negotiating with the player' union we have agreed that you must be out of high school for at least three years before you are eligible to play.

I get that but the ncaa has a problem with college athletes wanting to earn a check... That's fine but they need to learn the cost of earning that check.

College running backs at P5 conferences pretty much a losing money when they get 300 - 400+ college carries.
Too much wear and tear.

I call that leverage for the NCAA.

We dont even get the NCAA football game anymore
Hope that changes on these next consoles. I miss it. Bring it back damn it.

What really pisses me off is Amobi Okoye was allowed to enter the draft at 19 because he started college early. Shows the whole age limit is a farce.
