One of the areas in which the NFL has been attempting to improve itself in recent years has been to do a better job of setting its players up with more discipline and more resources to manage their lives as they transform overnight from often poor college kids to, in many cases, millionaires overnight.
It’s not just a transformation in lifestyle of course, also of life as a whole. When you move from college to the NFL, you are moving from an amateur to a professional. You now have a job and that comes with a lot more demand and responsibility.
