Given the risk of not making it onto an NFL team, as well as career ending injuries, a system that at least tries to require players to get an education to fall back on before heading to the big time is not a bad system.

A system that takes kids straight from high school to only train full time for the NFL might be an advantage for the NFL but would be a huge disservice to those kids. For every Paxton Lynch who can't transition successfully from the current college to NFL system, there are dozens who can and do every single year. No need to change what works for many to accommodate the few who can't figure it out.
