Thread: hey...

u guys think any of these high school kids will get drafted? i guess there is like 6 of them. i think this is a joke

I don't think so.. high school kids would get creamed by pros..hope green bay takes 'em.

Highschool kids in the NFL lol, this a joke I hope the NFL doesnt turn into the NBA

Absolutely a joke.

They have no business even declaring themeselves.

:bs:

Your kidding right?
None of these kids will get drafted, I think it was a joke that they even declared themselves for the draft.

I sure hope no teams do something stupid and draft one of these kids. I think it would be a big mistake! They are just way to young to go pro in the NFL.

for one high school kids do not have the talent for the nfl, and they would end up on the injured list after their first game, it would be a shame to the league if anyone drafts these guys

These highschool kids must be looking for death. There is no way a team would waste a pick on them.

Physically it's a lot easier to make the transition in the other 3 sports (hockey, basketball, and baseball). But to come into the NFL straight out of high school is pushing it big time. It's a shame. At least before, kids had to stick around college for a couple years, get some education (though most likely basket-weaving classes), but at least they would gain a little maturity and most importantly add size and skill. If anyone makes it, I hope he gets crushed as an example.
