I am not trashing  missions. I am saying that these young men are willing to  take the chance of giving up athletic success to serve a mission. This is not only Quarterbacks. It has to do with NFL draft. If you are 26, you better be far and beyond a player who is 22 to get the  attention of the NFL teams.  I am hoping the change to  missions at 18 and a few athletes leaving a year  early might help this situation
