Draft Expectations

The NFL Draft is a way for franchises of the NFL to pick a young athlete out of college to play for their team. But, its not a simple process (in fact, far from simple!). Players are tested and graded and measured like they are rats in a science lab.
They want to know how fast you can run in a straight line to be able to determine how fast you will be able to run down a runningback. Teams want to know if you had any "off-the-field issues" in high school and/or college to see if you will be a problem child in the future. They want to know what kind of attitude you had in the locker room in college to see if you'll be a good teammate... and rightfully so. These franchises are putting a lot of faith into the players they are drafting, especially in the first round. The teams want the players to be responsible members of the community, be able to sell tickets with a cheerful smile, but still be able to produce on the football field (which sometimes means: hit someone so hard they don't want to get up).
The players who make it to the NFL have it good, but the expectations to be doscile off the field and a sociopath on it are too outrageous. It's not always as easy as flipping the switch...
