The reason why players should get drafted earlier in sports before they graduate is that they can make some amount of money at a young age, for example if they had a great rookie season like the football star Odell Beckham they could start to make a lot of money at a young age, and maybe in the future if they keep playing well like that they could be a future hall of famer or a they can be known as a legend in the sport. If the player gets a great season he is most likely to get paid more during his seasons doing the sport. The lowest average in sports for the amount of money you would be paid would be 80,000 …show more content…
depending on which sports you play. For example CFL on of the lowest paying sports they would pay you around 82,000 per year and if you would go to a higher paying sport like the NBA the average pay for a player would be 4.6 million. Another reason why it would be good for pros to draft players before they graduate is that they can buy themselves a new house or apartment, they can save up and buy themselves a car, and they could save up their money for things they want for themselves. So this is why it would be a great idea for the pros to draft the players early.
The second reason why players should get drafted early is because you never know if you will have the chance to play in the future.
Most players if they decide to stay so they can graduate so they can go pro later on, they have a chance to get a career ending injury. These types of injuries would mostly happen in contact sports, this is the main reason why players accept getting drafted early so they have the chance to go pro and play the sport that they love to play. In football you are most likely to get injuries in your legs, like a broken leg a sprained or torn ACL, Sprains,etc, the second place you are most likely to get injured are shoulder injuries, and it goes on to head injuries and neck injuries. All players think about these possibilities, because if they get an injury that would make them stop playing the sport they want to do in the future they would most likely choose to to get drafted by a
pro.
Last reason why pros should draft player before they graduate is because the player can always come back later after their career. Most players that goes plays professional sports after their career they usually come back so they can graduate. Lots of athletes came back to school after their career like Shaq, Vince Carter, Will Witherspoon, etc. a benefit of going back to college or university after sports is that you will be able to afford it with no problem.
