NFL Players on Podcasts Share Draft and Rookie Challenges

Teams Prioritize Physical Attributes Over Leadership In Evaluating QB Prospects

Jason Kelce brings up the idea that in the NFL Draft, teams tend to prioritize physical attributes over intangible qualities such as leadership in evaluating quarterback prospects. He notes that quarterbacks with outstanding physical traits, such as arm strength or athleticism, are often selected in the early rounds because these measurable qualities at the combine are highly valued. Kelce points out that a quarterback dropping in the draft typically indicates teams' lack of belief in their ability to succeed at the NFL level based on their physical benchmarks.

However, Kelce also acknowledges that quarterbacks with less impressive physical traits may still find success if they possess an intangible "it factor" or a unique ability to understand the game, which cannot be as readily measured at the combine. For example, he mentions Brock Purdy, who was not selected until the late rounds of the draft due to his lack of standout physical traits, but who has subsequently shown potential in the NFL.

Financial Realities for NFL Rookies

Kelce dispels the myth that all players drafted into the NFL immediately receive significant financial windfalls. He puts into perspective the financial realities for NFL rookies, discussing the notion that not every rookie is instantly wealthy enough to afford extravagant items. Beau Allen shares his personal experience of buying Super Bowl tickets for his family, which was a considerable expense against his bonus, especially as a seventh-round pick.
