He is obviously the exception for not playing in the NFL at all, but it is fool hardy to say every player should jump for the money.
We get it.

Myron Rolle went to Florida State, was a Rhodes Schollar, and wants to be a brain surgeon.

Now we can discuss everyone else who actually made it to the NFL.

If the kid loves football take the money. Education can wait and you can still learn outside of a classroom.

This is the way to go IMO. I wonder what Pat Haden's father told him? He was a Rhodes Scholar and ended up with a middling NFL career. I have to think maybe in the back of his mind he regrets going for the football dream just a bit.

Definitely go pro. But staying in school isn't a bad option if you've got a good protective insurance policy.

LOL

As tired of FSU fans are hearing about Tim Tebow, I'm just as tired of hearing about Myron Rolle.

I find that hard to believe. Where have you heard about Myron Rolle lately aside from here?
