how many made NFL teams?

how many first rounders.

none? some? practice squad?

so by your standards, you were in fact intimidated by playing with scrubs, and thought you couldn't match up.

Ricardo Allen, 2014 Rookie. Fifth Round pick, Atlanta Falcons. 2nd Team All Big Ten out of Purdue.

practice squad player.

don't know if you saw him on Hard Knocks, but he had flashes on film.

Left some interceptions on the field, got burnt a couple times, had some luck plays made on him. But he got invited back because they see potential.

scrubs don't make practice squads. Practice squad isn't the guy who holds the dummy, or the JV player they bring over as a punching bag for the varsity. In the NFL it is 10 extra roster spots to 1. develop players, 2. hold reserves who can come in and play in case of injury.

if the practice squad was full of scrubs, then why would the NFL even have them? you don't practice with and against scrubs, you always look for talent.
