No more borrowing a ton in college and then paying that off with interest once pro. They make NIL as well as team/individual money in NCAA. They make even more a pros.
You will see many more guys who are half smart make good money in college, invest that, play a few years in pros, invest that, and retire in their 20s (esp if they get an injury or concussion scare or two).
If anything, most all time records (Rice yards, Bruce Smith sacks, etc) are safer than ever - even with 17 and soon 18 games/yr. There is just little incentive for most of the young guys now to play to a late age when they're injured and trying to push themselves through late career. Nope.

i agree with what you are saying. I was wondering how all the money that current qb - Mahomes and others are making today will influence their decisions to continue to play into late 30s to 40s as other qb have done. I believe all this money qb are making today will have impact on how long some guys will play in the future vs just 5 to 10 years ago.
