No sadly in this day and age people who think like you are one of the reasons we have such a high crime rate. They put all their eggs in one basket, and when they don't make it, for whatever reason, they turn to crime, because they never got an education. Hello, most recent example, Maurice Clarrett.

He obviously has a work ethic, it's just spread out very well. It's also focused on football because he knows that's what will make him great. Look at Vince Young. I remember when he was interviewed right after the Rose Bowl when he was still on the field I knew he was as dumb as a doorknob. He was still a 3rd rounder in the NFL draft.

He has drive, but not work ethic. He is driven to make a life out of football.
Vince Young in the one in a million that didn't need school. The problem is that too many kids that don't have enough talent and take after people who do. Never met a dillusional person?

Work ethic in the classroom doesn't mean anything when it comes to being an elite NFL player, which is the argument.

But it does when you don't make it, and you end up with no education, and have to either work at Burger King or become a criminal.
Don't forget, even if you have the skill, all it takes is 1 hit to end an NFL dream.
