I don't even need to check his 100 times to know that Gault is faster than Kevin White.
You haven't heard? This is Mike Glennon and Kevin Whites year! Gonna own this shit.

He still is faster than probably 98% of the WR's in the NFL.
No exaggeration. Just check out his recent 100 times.
Maybe it's because I hate slavery, but I'd really like to see the NFL get away from the NCAA and develop academies like European soccer does.
Idk why they don't have an American farm league.... just do 1 affiliate per NFL team and let them play like March - July ... give us something to watch in the offseason.
It might not be big money like regular football season, but if the Bears had a farm team on TV March - July I would watch.

Several avenues the NFL could explore:
-Farm system in America in smaller cities. Would probably be a nice boost to local economies.
-Buyout the CFL. Which would probably cost what Derek Carr makes in 15 minutes. And you'd already have the LOYAL FAN BASE in place up there. it almost makes too much sense.
-Go back overseas. This one im opposed to as I DESPISE the London b.s. But if Goodell is DETERMINED to have global expansion...what better place to send the developmental guys. But again...it could fail as it has before.
I think if they did this, it would be around the same time frame the NFL is. It would be tough on a body to play a full schedule, do well, and then be asked to compete in the regular season without much of a break.
I would not do a full season for the dev league... maybe 6-8 games... and the majority of them I would not expect to play in the NFL season, but could be called up to TC/Pre-Season/Regular Season if needed.
If you do the dev league season during the normal NFL season, no one watches it.... do it now when we have nothing to watch but baseball.
Maybe have it around the time the Canadian League starts? I always watch some of those games in July and then mercifully forget about it once the NFL starts.

If they do a farm league I think they should go for the NFL market already here at home.... I didn't watch NFL Europe and it wasn't 1 team per NFL franchise so it wasn't like those teams/players were the future of my team.
If I watch the Rockford Icehogs, I know I am seeing guys who are the future of the Chicago Blackhawks.... if I had the option to watch an affiliate of the Bears over the Spring/Summer, I would and I think alot of the fanbases would so long as you get them on TV.... NFL Network, ESPN, NBC/ABC/FOX.
How in the hell do you think they come up with 1692 (32 x 53) players for an NFL minor league? Teams are not going to send anyone above PS level to get their heads bashed in for meaningless games. With actual well paid NFL players quitting because of fear of CTE, how many guys do you see taking that risk for a few thousand dollars? Best they could do is maybe one team per division, which would give it, at least a little tie in, to make it interesting.
