There are plenty of superior athletes that do not get offers to play college football. There was a kid at my school who ran a 4.59 and could lift the gym. My high school coach gave him the starting HB position without even seeing him play. After two games into the season after 5 fumbles and never breaking any shoestring tackles, he never played another down. An amazing athlete with no football skill will not be just "given" a scholarship to play football. That is just stupid. Larry Johnson was not just strong and fast, he had football awareness. Yes he sucked at the end of his career, but he was not just some track athlete with muscles, he was a football player.
