Standing in the VIP Tent during the Flutie Foundation Flag Football Game, the day before the Super Bowl. All NFL Football Players, except for Pittsburg and Arizona. Back Judge says "These guys are no bigger than the High Schools we see." Keep in mind we were seeing the #1 and #2 High School Football teams in the nation year in and year out. Tampa Bay Florida.
My comment back ..."Less than 10% of all High School kids go on to College ball. Less than 5% go to the NFl. At each stage the ones that make it are the fastest and most athletic in each group. When a lane opens in this game and Flutie hits a receiver in that gap ...you best be backing up on the snap." The first play Flutie hits a receiver in the gap and the receiver blows past our Back Judge .......She never missed again, and we were playing on sand at the beach. Halftime, I commented ..."Like they are walking on water isn't it?"
Don't elevate the talent of the best High School Football teams ....you'll be sorely mistaken .... 90% of the best of those teams ....never go on to a College scholarship

They don't?
Are you talking about the starting 22 or the entire roster?
Almost every senior starter on IMG has received CFB scholarship the last 3 years.
Heck, even a public HS like Marietta,GA had 15 guys get D1 scholorships last year
Schools like Grayson, St Thomas Aquanis,Mater Dei,Miami Central routinely have most of the senior starters get D1 offers.

My old HS (St Thomas Aquinas) would no doubt give a very shitty college team a hard game. Some of those D3 teams are dogshit.

They would crush any D3 team they played most years.
