Hell, some of those guys drafted last week were showing off their 5-year old kids, which makes them 15 or 16 when they became a father. They get a free ride through college, often without being forced to actually have a real major (or even study for that matter) and on and on and on it goes.
The NFL doesn't necessarily deserve to bear the brunt of the blame, IMO. Society as a whole needs to take a step back and look at this if that's the case.

I don't think agents di these guys any favors either. These guys are hooked up with loans to buy their mom a car well before they sign their 1st contract. The lesson is just like the rest of the country I guess. Spend your money before you get it.
