Splash: The #Broncos are pulling off a post-free agency blockbuster by trading for #Dolphins star WR Jaylen Waddle, per me and @TomPelissero. Premium draft pick compensation is headed to Miami. The two teams started talking last year at the trade deadline and kept working. Now, a deal.

@blahblab321 @snyjets the list of bigger backs without that speed and level of elusiveness is very long. montgomery, joe mixon, james connor, javonte williams, kareem hunt, tyler allgeier, zach charbonnet, skattebo, henry

Breece Hall talks about his ability to run faster than his size:
"It's kind of guys like me, like Bijan, bigger backs who are a little elusive and can surprise people with how elusive they are. Even Bijan's more elusive than me. For me, it's just finding ways that I could take advantage of linebackers and safeties in order for me to be effective and forcing missed tackles."

@blahblab321 @snyjets MOST. but the ones known for speed are gibbs, achane, swift. all under 5’9 and 200lbs. the bigger backs like breece hall, bijan, jonathan taylor and saquon that are 5’10 and 220lbs+ with 4.4 speed and can make guys miss is what he’s explaining

There are two ways to look at this:
1) graduating university at 27 is bad because you will attend classes at an older age than your peers;
2) graduating university at 27 is bad because you will earn less income during your time in college, and you will essentially have to make up that time via increased earnings (particularly where retirement savings/investments would have been compounding during that time)
The first situation is nonsensical. I went to law school with people who were, quite literally, decades older than me. Some were serving in the military during traditional college or law school years; some didn't have the resources to go to law school until later in life; some changed careers; fuck, one was a very well-respected lawyer in brazil, but moved to the US and had to re-do law school. None of those people were treated differently than me-- and I was the youngest attendee in my graduating class at law school.
The second situation is a legitimate concern, and one that is too often dismissed when people are considering going back to school. By 23, you probably have a good idea how much you can earn doing what you are doing-- where you top-out; how much you can earn annually; and what career path (if any) may lay ahead of you. If that amount is greater than or equal to what you could earn on the other side of a degree-- then the only justification for going back to college would be 1) you like a field that requires education more than your current job; or, 2) your current job has an earlier end-point than another field. Typically, college grads will earn more than people with no college education. But, it requires a detailed look at the financial side to determine if that will actually be the case at the individual level.
