if you're within 4 years of graduating high school, you have a shot at playing "pro" football

I mean...you might as well play in the small arena football leagues...

Maybe NFL pay for it to train some honest officals

terrible idea, except for the fact that we will end up having the most physically fit drive thru workers in the world.

We really need something like this.  The problem is I do not see how it becomes successful.

A $50,000 yearly salary from ages 18 to 22. Sounds like a sweet deal. This sounds like a pretty good idea.

I just read this on Yahoo.  I have always thought this was a great idea.   The emphasis on Pro Style football is good and that everyone will play.

I also like where they will give a tuition reimbursement at community college for those that want to pursue an education.

I see these POD leagues popping up all over the USA.   I would like to see Michael Jordan join in a venture like this.  He has the financial resources to do this in the Central Atlantic.  Tennessee, Virginia and the Carolinas.

You know I actually feel kind of bad for him he was drafted to the Browns to begin with but I don't know why he just didn't decline the offer and then plus that team is awful how are you going put down a person on your team of course he's not going to do so well you needed help and they didn't offer any so it was only a matter time

This. 

Wonder if something like this could actually help force the NCAA's hand?

Dude had some inner demons he needed to conquer and wasn't ready to do it yet. He spent his whole life being the top dog and got used to living the life, made it to the NFL where everyone else is a top dog, and didn't know how to put in the time and effort it took to make it as a pro. Too much booger sugar, partying, trips to Vegas in a wig, and refusing medical care to do all of the previous mentioned things lead to no Job. 

He should have never been a first round pick, his skillset was too much backyard football, he wasn't refined enough to be a pro passer anyway.
