NFL Pay Distribution Charts

- Start date
Are you sure that isn’t an SEC pay chart?
Why should how much a position pays impact how a school recruits. How should I interpret this to support that claim?
Great question and I've only superficially thought about it until you asked. Let me dig deeper and respond later today ...
One thing it says is that there's a premium on good QB's and D-linemen in the NFL.
I think this applies to recruiting also. That's 2 positions you can't afford many "misses" on!
When I look at the graph, it infers that some positions are easier to fill (pay less). It tells me a head coach should find the best possible line and LB coaches that they can get. If your O/D line and LB coaches can't identify, recruit, and develop, then it's time to find new coaches.
Yeah if only we had an NFL guy like a Bill Callahan who could come in and coach us back to the top 
Cannot equate NFL success to college at all...although we all know that the most important position on the field is....DT.Data which suggests where a college football program should invest its recruiting energy ...
So, it looks like many of our questions have been answered.
While I partially agreed with the, there's no analogy to successful college football programs, I would argue, Alabama knocks that argument to the ground.
What I find in the data is that Offensive and Defensive linemen have little deviation standards, showing that there are few who can perform at a consistent level for an extended period of time. Whereas, the standard deviation on the QB's is large, with a grouping at the highest pay levels proving the importance of the position, or at least, the marketing appeal of QB XYZ, I could name several. What's furthermore interesting is the RB position, where there is a wide pay spectrum, with a grouping at the lower end, which would indicate that a lot of RB's are required, by committee if you will and that injury is inevitable.
My net on all this, especially College football, you need a great system and several great QB's, with an awesome offensive and defensive linemen pipeline and the rest will take care of it self
