[Music Playing]
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Announcer> This weekend, more than two hundred and fifty American males will be drafted into service of the NFL. Willis Jackson is one of these young men.
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.000
[Music Playing]
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Columbus Short> The draft is messed up, man. It's like, it's one minute you're just a college student trying to get a degree, and then, boom! You know? It's, the NFL is calling your name. Put a uniform on you, they're shipping you off to training camp, some old guy screaming in your ear 'Are you ready to go to war son?! Are you ready?!'
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.000
<v Columbus Short> Anyone that tells you they're not scared sh*tless of the draft? They're lying.
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Announcer> Since its inception in nineteen thirty-six, the NFL draft has pushed more than thirteen thousand young men into NFL action.
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:14.000
<v Lane Kiffin> The Oakland Raiders select quarterback JaMarcus Russell.
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Announcer> Their post-college dreams put on hold for a battle on the gridiron.
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Columbus Short> I mean, honestly, I thought I, I could avoid the draft by going to, you know, a small school like Mount Tuskegee State, you know? Go Bulls. And then, uh, I made all conference my senior year, and, uh, Mel Kiper starts talking about my up side, and, uh, uh, he says, uh, [Cough] I'll, I'll prob-, I'm probably going in the second round. Um.
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Columbus Short> I just wanted to be a teacher, man. You know? Just give, can we have a sec?
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Announcer> For drafted players, the promise of an NFL paycheck does little to calm fears of the physical punishment that awaits them. Concussions, shattered bones, let alone the mental anguish.
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Columbus Short> Man, you hear about these guys, you know, getting sent off to Detroit and Cleveland, and the sh*t they see over there? They're never the same again, you know?
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:40.000
<v Announcer> For players desperate to avoid NFL service, their last resort is the much whispered about practice known as draft dodging.
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:59.000
<v Columbus Short> I tested positive for marijuana. You know, I got aggressive with a young lady on, on a date one night, you know? I mean, she was saying no, I was saying yes. I won, which wasn't good for me legally, but it's just so many red flags, you know? And all I did was raise my stock with the Raiders.
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Announcer> While more than twenty million Americans will tune in to view the draft, Willis Jackson will not be among them.
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Columbus Short> I, I'm going to Canada, man. Um, I got to spend a lot of time with Tim Tebow at the Combine, and, you know, he says when it's all said and done, uh, he's going to the CFL.
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Columbus Short> We, uh, got us to steal away to have a moment of prayer, and, uh, you know, God said it. Loud and clear. And, uh, fu*k the draft! And, uh, ay.
