If playing in College and learning the game at that level can not help you improve your draft stock?

why don't  many baseball players go to college to improve their draft position?

 

yes he could have improved his draft stock. he also could have blown a knee and not been drafted at all. he could have had a worse year and not been drafted. If there were a minor league for football almost none of the top high school players would go to college. they would get paid while training trying to make the NFL.

 

he received far better training from the Browns than he would have at USF. that gave him a bettter chance at getting a 2nd contract. not only that but they paid him .

So my question is why don't all NFL Prospects come out early?

Baseball and Football and 2 different animals. In Baseball they have a Minor League system, and they offer top prospect Millions coming out of HS. That's like comparing apples and oranges. The best Prospects in Baseball rarely ever step foot on a College field.

let me ask you why do any come out early?

 

generally they come back because they won't get drafted.

 

do you think Selvie wishes he were able to come out after his sophomore season or do you think he was happy he had to come back and "improve" his draft position?

Bull94 is probably wrong here, but we don't know what the draft experts told Mitchell. That said, if he would've stayed, he would've been poised to have a huge year. Obviously, his training wouldn't have been as good but... he was on the Browns... is there training really *that* much better? ;)

exactly my point. even if he made the practice squad he would get guaranteed money and better training. exactly what they get in the minors.

Pretty sure all of the ones in college are doing just that.

The majority of the ones that come out early come out because they are told they should be drafted in the first few rounds.

Actually you have no idea who is right or wrong. neither does the other guy who claimed to think his opinion was truth. he could have easily blown out a knee, had a terrible year, etc. he took the money and the training. how many stay when they know they will get guaranteed money? almost none of them.
