National Signing Day

February 4th 2015, when every high school star officially signs their letter of intent to play colegiately. Weather that star high school recruit is a 2 star or 5 star, sky’s the limit for their next couple of years at their college. Football receives the most media and excitement once signing day approaches and they have all the reason to be. Some of these high school stars are set to be the next big prospect that will allow them to enter the NFL draft once eligible. The recruiting system has known to be skewed from the past couple of years due to research by sports analysts. Many recruiting databases such as ESPN.com, Rivals.com and bleacher report.com for example all have different grading systems. In the past few years there have been many underrated high school recruits who have received no credit once entering college who have panned out to be great NFL players. Richard Sherman and Darrelle Revis two of the best NFL cornerbacks were both 3 star recruits entering college. JJ Watt arguably the best defensive player in the last 3 years was a 2 star recruit entering college. All of these players have been through the recruiting process and undervalued but risen to the occasion to make it in the NFL and succeed. A big piece of advice I have seen throughout all the talks is, “Don’t worry about the stars next to your name but worry about what you’re going to do when given the opportunity.”
