1. Until you are drafted you deal with the risk of getting hurt and signing with an agent that doesn't have your best interest in mind.
2. You can protect yourself from these risks by not playing in games except for the one's you have to play, and by looking at many agents and interviewing them until you find the right one.
3. If you don't protect yourself you could have a career ending injury, or you could get an agent who tells you to sign a contract that allows him to take most of your money.

2. insurance
3. if you are injured in a game while not insured you will not be able to pay for medical expenses

2. Work hard and show the NFL teams what you can do.
3. You could lose everything you worked for.
1. Some risks that I would have to deal with is keeping my reputation clean and positive, being careful what actions I take and do, and to keep my focus and not get big headed.
2. I can protect myself from these risks by focusing on my goal and to whach out for the kinds of things that might hurt my reputation like my behavior at a party or on campuss.
3. If I do not protect myself from these risks, my positive reputation will become a negetive one, the team that is looking to draft me might think twice about the kind of character that they are letting on the team, and I could lose the potential to be placed as a starter.
1. you can get injured so that you can not play football.
2. eaither go to the NFl this year so that you are already on a team and wre getting paid or sign a contract with the MFL team that wants you to play for them saying if i get hurt i still will be paid.
3. you can loose your career
1. you have to make sure that you have good behavior, and you dont get hurt.
2. you can try to be good, and wear all of the proper pads when you play. you could quit playing for fun and just play for your college.

1. one sisk is that your draft stock could go down and i wouldnt gte that big signing deal.
2. You can make sure that you do well in the workouts for the NFL.
3. You could drop out of the top ten and lose money.
1. Some risks that you would have to deal with would be which teams would offer you the best option as being a player on their team. Would you have coverage if you were to get hurt, and to make sure that you are still at the top so you earn the most money possible.
2. You can protect yourself by keeping up with records, researching information about the teams you could be signging, and have meetings with coaches to see how you are doing and what opions you would have.
3. If you don't protect yourself you could end up loosing more money than you earned and your football carrier could be over
1. some of the risk are the potential of being injured, not doing well in the combine, draft stock dropping, and the teams with the top picks might not need someone of your postion.
2. look at the teams that will have the higher picks and determine what type of player they need, make sure to prepare extremely well for the draft combine, if you think that you will fall to far in the draft stay one more year.
3. you could end up slipping out of the first round and end up making a much lower salary than originally expected.
1. What team will draft me? Will I be getting the money that I want? Will I be ready to compete for a starting position when the season starts? Am I ready to play in the NFL? Do I want to leave school? What will happen to me if I dont make it in the NFL and dont have a college degree?
2. Work as hard as possible on my game and be ready to play if I decide to go pro; otherwise, I'd stay in school and get another year of experience at the college level and finish my education so I can get another job if neccesary.
3. If I dont protect myself, I could be unable to make it in the NFL, get hurt, and potentially not make much money because I wouldnt have a great education.
1. One major risk is injury that could potentially ruin your career and leave you without a contract for football. Another is failing school which could keep you from playing sports in college.

2. The best way to protect yourself from these risks is to have liable insurance. Your insurance policy will help pay for things such as doctors visits, emergency room procedures, and other things.
