OSU seemed "old" by their standards

tOSU has been an NFL feeder program with a lot of guys leaving 3 and out. seems like they had a lot more of the older type players we don't usually see from the elite programs where 3 and out is the norm.

I said this elsewhere, but if you are going to be a borderline NFL player or a lower draft pick, you might just make more money by staying an extra year or two.

Seems like more times than not, this is the case.

seems the pendulum has swung back a little on getting to the league early toward staying longer and coming out a more finished more mature product.

The NFL probably likes it that way too.

This is true, and, as strange as it seems, many players getting money to play football for college programs will never earn a dime from any NFL team.

Chicks, tattoos, cash, what’s not to like about college at OSU? I’m not even sure the players live in Columbus.

“Wow! Does he really live here? I thought he just flew in for games!”

This makes CFB different as a minor league than the other sports.

this is going to push a lot of players who would be playing G5, FCS or D2 out of scholarships. The COVID year has also added to the population hanging around playing. 2025 is the last of those players.

Closer to junior hockey, actually.
