First off you were talking about averages and I hardly think that the average guy making the 2.7 million is going to be physically debilitated forever after just three years. Not only that the average life expectancy of an NFL player is not less than 60. They've only just begun to research any of that and the worst ones are O and D linemen because they're fat.
The policemen and soldiers are only irrelevant because your picking and choosing. You used the analogy of the dangerous aspect of their livelyhood as justification for their salaries. I certainly would think they would fall into that.
I don't have any numbers or stats to back it up, but i would be willing to bet there are more millionaires in the NFL than not and its not from their degrees. So again sorry I don't feel for them.
