The NY Giants and the NY Jets should do the same thing. Scrap try outs. Set aside 20% of starting positions for people who are out of shape and have never played football.
The noncompetitive NFL recruiting results will be the same as bringing unprepared students into elite and competitive high schools - those who are unprepared will be crushed. I won’t see it in either case, since I’m not in their schools, and I won’t be watching the NFL this year.
I can't jump. I can't play defense. I'm slow. But I can hit 85% of my free throws. 60% from 18 feet. As long as I'm not guarded.
I want to play on the Knicks. They need a graybeard!
After the last couple of seasons I think the Giants and Jets are already implementing your suggestion.
