Certainly punishing, certainly short-lived, not as good as a QB, Edge rusher or OT... but the NFL min is 660k...the mean for the position is 9mil...and witness Bell, Henry, Kamara and Cook for 2nd/3rd rders who rang that BIG bell in year 3 or 4.


I've made just less than 500k in 9 years of teaching., writing, and looping summers... 59 courses taught...hundreds of loops...2 books...


So NO tears, but yes...mama let your babies grow up to be Ks or Ps.

I stayed away from first rd picks (like #2 overall Barkley) as tW's original post was commenting on the lack of 1st rders at the position the last two years (2)...
