I think a lot of times some of the guys that get the best offers for football actually wrestle during wrestling season. The reason for me believing this is since high school and college seasons run at the same time, it's difficult for a college coach to come see a game live for the real feel of the competition. A video doesn't always give the whole story as many times just "highlight packages" are strung together.

If a DI or other college football coach sees these guys movement on the mats (or even on the court in the case of basketball), they get a feel of their strength and speed in person. Why do you think some NFL coaches take a gamble on inviting "athletes" that have no college football experience to try out for their team? Steven Neal ring a bell?
