and may not be their top goal. My main point is that the NFL isn't the only thing on their minds and not their top priority. If it was than many of them probably wouldn't get married and have children while they are in college.

The real reasons for why we don't put many players in the NFL

So you're saying there's not a lot of white guys playing in the NFL?

5/6/15 11:30am

This would be interesting to look up. What % of the NFL is White, Poly, Black..

ZERO white cornerbacks in the NFL. Wow.

byujacob

5/6/15 11:42am

I can't think of one since Jason Sehorn and he last played in 2003

RC Vikings

The NFL is obviously racist. Purposely avoiding the much better white cornerback

Could someone ask Shady McCoy about this I'd love to hear his answer

27% white boys in the NFL. Surely that hurts the odds of a white BYU team.

1/4 white player are QBs, Kickers, or Punter.

Avg for QB in 2014 was 6' 3" and 224. Has BYU ever

I think their was only one white player drafted in the first round

RC Vikings

Sounds racist, someone should look into that. Maybe the NFL should set up a

Hold it are you saying black people are better athletes than white people?!?

You are only have way there

There is the occasional Taysom or Staley, but when you're aiming for the cream

one additional point

How does that apply to Leslie, Fua, Wesley and Daniel?

Turnpike Lane

5/6/15 12:08pm

It comes down to percentages, not individuals.

Mantis Mutu

5/6/15 12:10pm

Frankly, none of those guys were all that impressive on the field.

Mikey

5/6/15 12:12pm

Fua had a really good Jr season

concolor couguar

5/6/15 12:17pm

Disagree, 3 were. 1 wasn't.

Turnpike Lane

5/6/15 12:19pm

Not NFL impressive, though. Fua is too skinny, Daniel too slow, Wesley too soft

Mantis Mutu

5/6/15 12:29pm

Not NFL Talent?

mtnKat

5/6/15 5:59pm

Didn't fua weigh in the 230s at the combine?

concolor couguar

238

That's surprising. But at 6'5" that's still very lean.

It has been 1 year since an RM was picked in the 1st or 2nd

concolor couguar

look i know being older is a drawback when drafting. everyone knows that

Same thing with our bball team and the NBA.

We Need Affirmative Action For White Players

Shhh... That's racist lol there was an extremely funny video clip done

kotacoug

5/6/15 12:17pm

In expectation, BYU will send 1 player to the NFL via the draft every year.

Random Walk

5/6/15 12:12pm

Or next year we will have 3 drafted and the average will be met.

PolarisPrime

5/6/15 1:14pm

This would be great.

Random Walk

I dont actually care much about the draft

99% of BYU RMs would play in the NFL if they could...nothing to do with values

boorad

clearly you don't know any players. and you really think that the reason why

macaroni

5/6/15 3:08pm

I'm just saying that the NFL is obviously not their only goal in life

boorad

5/6/15 6:54pm

that's a broad statement, and you're assuming a lot.

macaroni

5/6/15 9:45pm

Umm... No I'm not

boorad

5/6/15 11:52pm

getting married and having kids doesn't mean that you have other goals in life

NFL team president's don't know how to spell "Dan Smith".

This is the most accurate reason of any I've seen discussed imo.

BYU is about developing good college student athletes. And I'm happy with that.

BluebloodOR

5/6/15 2:44pm

You really care how these athletes are in school and their careers after

checoug

5/6/15 3:52pm

Yes, I do care about athlete and non-athlete students after graduation.
