No they can’t. Unless by decent you mean guys that are practice squad players.

Let's be honest, every good college QB does not get a chance to showcase his abilities and thus does not get a chance in the NFL. There've been plenty of times where a backup QB getting little to no playing time transfers his senior year and shows out at another school. It's not unreasonable to believe that just as many ride out their scholarship as a backup and don't end up in the NFL.
The XFL should be able to come in after the draft and scoop up some of the decent players that don't get drafted.
And while it would suck for the NFL to take some of the more talented players, in theory that should help the XFL by showing kids that they can go to the XFL and make it to the NFL. Pretty sure "we put athletes in the NFL" is a selling point in college recruiting so i don't see why it wouldn't be a selling point for the XFL too.
Also while the pay is fairly low now compared to the NFL in order to make it last a few years, I would think the pay would be able to go up if the league became popular enough.

I'm just waiting on the day when one of these top high school recruits stick the middle finger to the NCAA and opt to get paid in the XFL.
That would be the stupidest thing for the XFL and the player.
Should I point out all the busts that come out of high school. Or should I point out that an unbelievably high percentage can’t get much pt as freshmen against college athletes but they are gonna play against grown men?

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??
It wouldn't be the smartest thing for the player to do but wouldn't be the dumbest thing for the XFL to do. Do you realistically think one of the top rated high school players couldn't crack the 2 deep of a XFL roster? DK Metcalf showed up at Ole Miss looking like he does now, do you think he couldn't have made it in the XFL?
The amount of exposure the XFL would get for having one of the top rated high school recruits would be ridiculous

This doesn’t happen. And even they get signed as udfa.

You need to think about this a bit.

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.

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

I know that a huge percentage wouldn’t.

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.

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.

What? Of course he would.
An XFL team would have to offer at least 300K to get a prized HS QB to jump and he"d be playing against some guys that are 10 years older.Not gonna by ANY time to redshirt or develop...not when they're paying em more than 90% of the roster.
He's gonna have to step in and perform IMMEDIATELY.Good luck with pinning your hopes on an 18 year old kid who's gonna take a huge part of your payroll.

I get that you're wanting to argue for the hell of it but don't be retarded. It wasn't his senior year but Joe Burrow just went from nobody to number 1 pick by transferring from Ohio State. Had he not transferred he would've went undrafted.

You're right, every decent player always gets drafted and every UDFA always makes it in the NFL.

What's your argument? Guy goes undrafted, bounces around as an UDFA getting nowhere. Eventually ends up out of football.

Solid argument

The national media seems to sy it wasn't as good but I enjoyed it. The 3 pointer by LA was nice. Seattle had a nice attendance. Id like to see the numbers vs the NBA all star. I had all 4 games on at sometime or another and not one second of the NBA

We’re not talking about if they’d pan out. I’m talking on the basis they’d rather get paid to play football after hs than go to the NCAA where there’s a plethora of restrictions as to what they can do. It’s already happening in college basketball. Top recruits are starting to go play overseas, make money, and gain experience, rather than playing in the corrupt system.

Spot on. Not to mention it’d allow the XFL to have these players for Atleast 3 seasons before they could even decide to go to the NFL, if they wanted to. Not to mention it allows the XFL to have stars for multiple seasons.
