Not all college football players are like that.
For the better part of two years I ate dinner pretty much every Tuesday night during football season, with the 1999 UCLA Rose Bowl Offense.
Andy Meyers, Cade McNown, Kris Farris, Shawn Stuart, Mike Grieb, Ryan Neufeld, Danny Farmer, Craig Walendy and Oscar Cabrera were all solid young men and turned out to be productive members of society. Oscar died of cancer in 2013.
Andy Meyers, my favorite of all of them, operates in the same professional space as I do and is wildly successful. Individually, they are all fantastic people.

While tossing football one night right after Cade signed his Rookie NFL contract, I told him that I never want to open the business page and see that he had blown his signing bonus buying a partnership in a string of fried chicken joints. He didn't.
