I read this article about a football player who has a lot going on in his life which is very interesting
If this kid has the talent to be playing in the NFL then he should be, no questions asked. After going through a full recovery from having a brain tumor his doctors cleared him to play football so I don't believe teams should have to worry about that. As far as the watches and gifts go I dont blame him. he is a 20 some year old kid who didnt know better. what kid his age wouldnt take a free watch? I know I would if I was a poor college student. For him taking those watches he was banned from NCAA football for life. I do not see how this plays into the factor of him being drafted or not? It's not like he shot someone or got introuble with drugs like some players in the NFL do. It is the agent who should be penalized for offering them to him in the first place. I hope this kid does get drafted because if you are that good at a sport that means you have dedicated your life to that sport and I dont think these minor issues should hold him back from achieving his ultimate goal.
I understand that Quinn is forbidden from playing football for life because of two events.
ReplyDelete1. Accepting gifts from a person acting for a scout which is illegal
2. The benign brain tumor
I think that the fact that he is banned because of the brain tumor is absurd. The doctors cleared him to play; therefore, he should be allowed to play no questions asked. The tumor was taken care of and the fluid was drained. They should not be allowed to prevent him from playing football.
