The opiate epidemic is much more harmful to the NFL player culture than marijuana

I do believe in the fact that the opiate epidemic is much more harmful to the player culture than marijuana would ever be. The continuation of them pumping players with opiates rather than finding some alternative is what is problematic to me.

This is widely supported by medical experts and former players who have criticized the NFL's historic 'Tordol' and opioid culture.

NFL Draft prospects must understand they are CEOs of Fortune 500 companies

You've got to understand for the next, you know, four or five months, this is locked in time... You are going to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, essentially. I never looked at it that way. Of course, I see it completely different now, and that's the way you have to look at it. You are the head of a foundation, of an organization, and you can be for a long period of time.

While Mayfield was the #1 pick, his career was marked by the exact 'optics' and personality issues Leaf warned about before eventually finding more stability later.

Josh Rosen thinks like LeBron James

He thinks like LeBron James thinks. He does. He loves football. He wants to be the best quarterback to have ever played, and what goes with that is most likely being in the biggest market, which could be the New York Giants. And that allows him for so many other business. He wants to be all that.

Rosen's NFL career did not match this comparison, as he bounced around several teams and failed to become a franchise cornerstone or a business mogul in a major market.
