speaking of Marv…

Marvin Harrison Jr is the best WR in college football since who? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen one that good. I think Jefferson and Chase were fantastic but they had the benefit of playing off one another and Marv might be better than both. He’s on that level for sure at min. I’m getting Larry Fitzgerald vibes from that dude. He would be a top 5 draft pick after his true sophomore year and be a day one NFL starter and play at a high level if he could come out now.

Oh yeah and by the letter of the law that was targeting. Borderline dirty hit and Marv catches the td pass and Georgia probably loses that game and Marv continues to shred them if not for that one play.

Good pick on Fitzgerald,IMO he was the package because of his mind set - seemed real dialed in like Payton or Sanders.Not a primadonna like so many WRs. Calvin Johnson another one who comes to mind

I haven't watched him much but he looked great in the time he played vs. UGA.    

247 says he was a '21 recruit so I assume that means he has to come back to OSU next year.  Maybe I'll get to watch him more then.

yeah he just finished his true soph season. he’d be a high draft pick if he could come out right now. He’s got nothing to gain by coming back for a 3rd year but- has to bc of draft rules. He’s a top 5 pick rn. And injury could end his career or tank his stock. God forbid and knock on wood that don’t happen.

I think the NFL should’ve set up a minor league a long time ago. Not fair to make kids that can play pro right now stay in school 3 years and bc of those issues we’ve had this NIL crap run amuck and it’s ruining the sport.

Why would the NFL establish its own minor league, when college football has been providing them this benefit for a century, completely free of charge?

I suppose if anyone thought an NFL minor league might actually make money, they'd probably do it.  But the fact that the money-grubbing NFL hasn't already done it, tells me they've performed the calculations and know it would be a money loser.

So, they just continue to use college football as a free minor league.

Previously I would've said it's a mistake to entertain options like sitting out until you're draft eligible due to what a year of rust would do to you.  Then Chase opted out of the 2020 season and entered the '21 nfl like a boss, so what do I know.

Staying in playing shape can be even easier without game prep and not wanting to overdo things the day before, day of, and day after a game.
If you don't have to avoid muscle soreness on Saturdays, you're freed up to work out hard on Fridays and Saturdays.  If you're not studying the opponent's defenses, you're free to run or lift or sleep.

I think most positions can take a year off except for QB. That is one that is a lot tougher. QBs only get better by practicing and playing in the games. No amount of working out or staying in shape will prepare them for what their job requires.

we can't limit a young man's ability to profit from his name, image, or likeness, but...........

we can limit his ability to take a job in the NFL and a decent paycheck?

WTF???

Who's "we?"

There's no monolithic organization making these determinations.

State legislatures have determined that they have an interest in forcing NIL, because the previous NCAA rules were illegal.

Which has nothing at all to do with the NFL, which has its rules in place in order to preserve the free farm system that college football has provided for a century.  Nobody is stopping the NFL from hiring high school kids, other than the NFL.  It's THEIR rule.  Not the NCAA.

State legislatures
So are you suggesting that one or more of the state legislatures should force the NFL to change the rule?
