[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3870509, member: 45524"] Also: Alabama currently has 137 players on their roster. Appalachian State has 116. As a player: what are your chances of being a standout on a team of 116 guys in FCS vs your chances of being a standout on a team of 137 in the SEC? you're a three star recruit who wants to play your freshman year because you think you are good enough. do you sit for three years and hope you get ONE SEASON to actually show the scouts what you've got? or do you sign with appalachian state and become one of their 10 kids going to the NFL? you realize a CERTAIN NUMBER of players HAVE to be drafted every year, right? Let me phrase this another way: would a player who is mediocre at a "blue blood" have a better chance than a standout at "lesser" school? by all measures, i think you proved yourself wrong on this one. lots has to do with position, some positions its not nearly as big of a deal to be backup. some positions it's the end of your career before it even starts.
