NFL player?

Today I read an article concerning NFL Veterans who made millions from the league and teams ,cheap nfl nike jersey suing the NFL over head concussion injuries. I found it interesting that players who went to college, are educated and with degrees of many kinds, decided the employer, The National Football League is at fault for not doing all it can to protect its players. Why blame the NFL?




 
        With all due respect to the Player’s Association of the National Football League, and The Union, you can’t hold The NFL accountable for these head injuries like Alex Karras‘s or any other players. These men who grew up playing football from their childhood days on parks and fields, and then through elementary School, High School and College, then choose to play Professional Football to make millions, are at fault themselves. You can’t blame an employer for a worker doing the job they do, when they choose the job as a way of life themselves.Cheap Buffalo Bills jersey No one bent, twisted, any of these players arms to play the sport of Football for an NFL Team or the league, nope they volunteeringly signed contracts that included medical coverage and benefits, plus millions in money to play a game they love. Now when they get injured or hurt, they want to sue a League that gave them what they wanted, to play Pro Football.

2012 draft assessment: Joe Arrigo

Andrew Luck’s go-to option in Stanford’s passing game, Coby Fleener is a hybrid tight end prospect with the tools needed to be the next in the recent string of big, athletic prospects capable of effectively blocking and being matchup nightmares as receivers.

 A twoyear starter who has played in all 51 games possible the past four years, Fleener caught a total of 96 passes for 1,543 yards and 18 touchdowns over the course of his career with the Cardinal; his best statistical season came during his senior year in 2011 when he hauled in 34 receptions for 667 yards and 10 touchdowns. A large prospect with the combination of height, bulk, length (33 inch arms), and speed that you look for at the position, Coby offers a complete package of tools to the team that drafts him. A very reliable option as a receiver, Fleener has the versatility that you look for, having lined up both as an in-line tight end as well as out wide as a flex tight end, and even has experience lining up as a split-end receiver. While not a truly fast receiver, Coby has more build-up speed than explosion off the line of scrimmage, however he accelerates to his top speed quickly and once there, he has shown the ability to split the seam effectively and run away from defenses.
