Why do BYU players have such a hard time staying healthy in the NFL?

I think it's everybody... most don't last long in the NFL

It's not a BYU thing. Why do you think most careers only last 2-4 seasons?

Not just BYU. Most players don't last more than a few yrs

Given the quality of life for many ex-NFL players, this might be a tender mercy.

It means you are gone a lot as an NFL player. I guess it's not baseball

A lot of people with really crappy jobs are gone a lot too

True, but they don't have the debilitating effects of a long NFL career either

But those people likely wouldn't continue working if they got a $10M+ bonus...

You broke your hip and lost your dream job - tender mercy? eh, no.

Ya honestly it is probably for the best, to leave the game.

he just got 16M guaranteed, so he'll get that plus a portion or all of this year

Isn't guaranteed money under the stipulation that you are on the roster? How
coug almighty

Guaranteed is guaranteed. He will be paid for as long as he is still on the team

Yep, there are two different types of guaranteed. Bluefrog can explain it.

He may have already gotten the 16M, not sure how his contract is structured

Crap, how did he break his hip on that play? Was it not fully healed up?
