Football is a bit different then the other 'pro' sports in that the human body represents a lot of the player. While baseball, basketball, etc is more about skill, football is about physical ability (for the most part, granted talent still is a huge factor). At 16, if they graduated HS two years early, the kids would get squashed. Even Amobi Okoye was too small to play pro ball at 16.
If he's not an idiot, NFL league minimum is $285,000 for zero years experience and goes up staggeringly higher each year. If someone is drafted first round, they are getting, $1 million, period, probably $1 mil is just a part of their signing bonus. So yea, as long as they make one season, the should have the cash to cover college, etc. Those are odds I'd like to take
I really won't bat too much of an eye if they have to sell their 9,000sq. ft. house and fleet of Bentley's if they did get hurt.
def agree
. basic pay + signing bonus + endorsement deals = a lot of money that if spent wisely he would have enough of a fallback to do college if he was injured and have plenty left over.

I have a feeling the reason he is going to college is to fill out a little...He is 6ft 3 and 195 lbs defensemen, that is huge by high school standards...That is "Hey stringbean, I hope you have a good dentist" by NHL standards.
If he in fact went in the mid first round though as he is projected he would sign a contract for more than enough money to be able to go to college should his career end unexpectedly.
