Coaches say they love multi-sport athletes, as long as it doesn\u2019t interfere much with their plans. There have long been issues locally with girls basketball players also playing club volleyball in the winter. What is the priority? Where do you go? If I\u2019m an athlete, I want the college scholarship and want to go to the showcase events. If I\u2019m a coach or a teammate, I don\u2019t like missing players at important times. <strong>Much was made out of Tracking Football extrapolating that 224 of 256 players drafted in this year\u2019s NFL draft played two or more sports in high school. Heck, it was even repeated with an inaccurate inflammation. But, the reality is, most (63 percent) of those were football players also competing in track and field, which helps football speed and doesn\u2019t interfere schedulewise. Forty-eight percent of those played basketball and 10 percent played baseball. Tracking Football said, when I asked, that they didn\u2019t see a ton of athletes who played early in their career and then went down to one sport later.<\/strong> That\u2019s the opposite of what I assumed, based on guys like Bryan Bulaga or Jordan Getzelman.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Jon Styf<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As this year&#8217;s NFL Draft inches closer we take a look back at last year&#8217;s NFL Draft study\u00a0and an article which used our numbers. \u00a0The article, written by Jon Styf and Mike DeFabo, examined summer sports schedules of current high school athletes and whether those schedules promote specialization and discourage multi-sport participation.
