I played high school football and I played college football.  I played with 
and against guys that went on to play in the NFL, and I can give you a very 
simple and accurate assessment of what it's like to play in the NFL.

High School = The game is slow, not particularly violent, the coaching is poor 
(well intentioned but poor), only about 1 or 2 guys per team can actually play 
the game.

College = The game is fast, it is violent, the coaching is excellent, and 
everybody on the field and on the bench can play the game.

Pro = The game is exceptionally fast, extremely violent, the coaching is the 
best money can buy, and everybody on the field and on the bench is a 
superstar.

Of course whether or not you choose to believe it coming from me is your 
problem.  If Brett Favre says that everybody ought to do Methamphetamine are 
you going to run out and buy an 8 ball?  Endorsements from the Pro's are 
probably the least believable because they are simply business transactions.  
An endorsement from some lowly (in your eyes) instructor at say the Russell 
Racing School would stand a much better chance of being an accurate 
assessment.  But it probably wouldn't sell many copies of the game would it?
