How did they get to the NFL? Was it because getting into college was too easy? I assume college football is necessary to hone skills needed for pro football. But how did they get through high school? GED perhaps?

Their only "skill" was being BIG and BLACK. Professional sports isn't about the game, sportsmanship, or upstanding players who have raised TENS of MILLIONS for charities such as J.J. Watt or Tim Tebow anymore.

It's all about who can have the biggest blackest teams, subverting America, and virtue signaling.

It's the modern day plantation.

College football is Big Money, and the schools do everything short of sending substitutes to a top player's classes. Whatever it takes to protect their playing status, from personal tutors, to absurdly easy "courses," to the team management covering for them when they go off the rails. Lots of gray-area (and sometimes outright) payoffs and subsidies, too.

Everyone on all sides looks the other way as much as they can. It's become a de facto tradition at many big football schools & towns, in fact.

The result? The players learn little except about corruption and the power of money and fame.

Plus it really doesn't take much to get passing grades in college. There's plenty of idiots with degrees.
