Current salary structure has the minimum salary at:
$750,000 for a rookie, $870,000 for 1 year experience and $940,000 for 2 years experience. That's $2,560,000 over three years before taxes. It's good money but it's probably not set for life money unless you're in an area where housing is dirt cheap in some parts of the country that basically pays for your house and nothing else after taxes. On the other hand if you're getting traumatic brain injury risk from NFL practice and/or play you may be quite limited in what you can do afterwards. Even worse if you try and make it big and get that traumatic brain injury from high-school or college pay before you get paid.

However the previous rules were even better, allowing NBA teams to draft directly out of high school (LeBron, Kobe) Also there are quite a few "great" players in the graphic that should easily be unanimous superstars (Joel Embiid, Kyrie...)
