I would be willing to guess that half the NFL players probably can’t read, period. They get pushed through high school and college without having to do much academically so long as they can win games. NIL is ruining sports and now it has even entered High Schools.

I had a couple of friends who played college, and couldn't read beyond a 3rd grade level, but my friend that played in the NFL, he was actually a great reader.

The Dolphins still won the SB in the 73 season.
And went to the SB for the 82 and 84 seasons.

But since Shula went 8 years without a playoff win, I can understand thinking they were worse during that period.

Malik Willis is going to set the Dolphins franchise back at least 5 years.

LOL . I recall hearing that once before... But Malik is no Lamar, that's for sure

Just think... if Tomlin had a "losing season" or two.... he'd probably still be coaching.

I doubt it.

I suggest we even wait on judging him too quickly. Remember Trubisky, Tua, CJ Stroud, and many others have looked good for a year , or two before coming back down to earth. He maybe awesome, but I will wait, and see.

Remember when the NFL, and everyone was trying to say that college puts out better Qb than ever, and the NFL will be loaded with great Qb talent. LoL
Yet there is the same amount of good Qbs , and terrible Qbs in the NFL as always.
You know it's bad when we are thinking about bringing back a over 40 year old Qb, and someone agrees to pay Malik Willis 67.5 million dollars, and 45 million guaranteed for 6 games started in 4 years. LoL.
Someone tell me again about how much talent is being brought to the NFL at the Qbs position.

You're right even super prospects like Trevor Lawrence haven't lived up to expectations. Everyone wants the running QB. Instead of Patrick Mahomes you get a Justin Fields.

I do think Caleb Williams is a good one, but it seems there are a lot of misses with high picks.
