"Almost 900 NFL players were arrested since 2000." Do you happened to know how many were convicted or the charges dropped? And at least, according to the NFL (2005), only about 46% are college graduates. Perhaps the numbers have dropped or gone up since then and you can provide a current number? but at least that is an official stat to work with rather than a claim without any support. A quick Google search provided Justice Department statistics that "in the United States, 2010, the FBI estimated that state and local law enforcement agencies made a total of 13,122,000 arrests in 2010." Multiplying that by 17 (223,074,000) puts the "almost 900" into perspective. See NFLarrest.com for more stats, and "Keep in mind there are 1700 NFL players and their arrest rates are lower than the USA arrest rate."
