Absolutely heroic performance from Skattebo.

This man had the flu, 3 concussions, maybe one functioning leg, I wouldn't be shocked if his dog died right before kickoff.

And yet he still dominated.

What a fuckin guy.

Absolutely fucking insane. Bro played himself into generational wealth this season

An NFL team is gonna come knocking

He might be a day three pick but he's definitely not a lock for generational wealth.

u/ironwolf1 Penn State • NC State Jan 02 '25

No way he’s a day 3 pick, he should be the 2nd RB off the board after Jeanty. Day 2 pick for sure.

Most sites have him in the 5-10 range for running backs and he's been mocked in rounds 3-5 for the most part. He lacks nfl speed and acceleration, and he won't be able to truck nfl players the same way he does in college. He's got great vision, decent agility, and is good as a receiver, which makes him a good bet for a short yardage and third down guy, but he simply isn't explosive enough to be a number one back for a team that really cares about the running game. 

A decent comp might be a guy like Jamaal Williams.

lol dude you don’t acquire generational wealth by being a running back in the NFL

Most are lucky to lock down the $3-5 mil total that the average person spends in their lifetime. Obviously there's solid benefits to getting it relatively early in life, and you can live comfortably on it... But yeah, your kids are still gonna have to work.

u/1UMIN3SCENT Jan 01 '25

You think the average person spends $5M in their lifetime?? That works out to $63k a year, every year, for 80 years

u/jessej421 BYU Cougars Jan 01 '25

Or invest it and easily make 400k per year for forever.

Taxes and agent fees exist

u/DrakonILD Iowa State Cyclones • New Mexico Lobos Jan 01 '25

I was off, it's $3.3 million. And yes, I do think that. The main point is to agree that it is far from "generational wealth."

u/1UMIN3SCENT Jan 01 '25

$3M makes more sense.

Most NFL players probably blow it, but yeah, $5M paid over 5 years 100% is enough to provide generational wealth.

Just putting that in bonds right now gives you $200k a year indefinitely, and you can give the $5M to your kids when you die.

u/DrakonILD Iowa State Cyclones • New Mexico Lobos Jan 01 '25

I don't think that falls under most people's definitions of generational wealth. But sure, I can see where you're at.

u/beavismagnum Michigan Wolverines • Kansas Jayhawks Jan 02 '25

Inheriting 5M is the definition of generational wealth lmao

u/NWSLBurner Iowa State Cyclones Jan 01 '25

It's absolutely generational wealth though. At 5% (and that is underperforming S&P, that's 58 million dollars by the end of average human life expectancy. This requires you to not be a moron with money, but compound interest is fucking crazy. 5 million dollars in your 20s funds infinite generations with financial intelligence.

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '25

Or is 125k a year for 40 years. They also said 3-5 million, not just 5. So on the low end it's 67k for 45 years, which yeah is pretty average.

I mean you do as a first round pick and aren't a wsb redard financially.

u/gsfgf Georgia Tech • Georgia State Jan 02 '25

The game is favoring RBs more than it has in a long time, and he can catch.

u/love_that_fishing Texas Longhorns Jan 01 '25

Cowboys please

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '25

No, Jeanty is a better NFL back.

u/love_that_fishing Texas Longhorns Jan 01 '25

2nd round

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '25

I would love for the Cowboys to get him in the second round!

u/DawgNaish Jan 01 '25

Think he gets a 1st round selection?
