Yes but guys like Beaver and Kmic probably have gf/wives and are planning on having families. They can't just hang around and hope for something in the NFL. Luckily, Danny had a girl that is supportive and was willing to move around with him as he waited for a chance. Pretty much all white people will put family first. Look at Abram Booty, dominated SEC competition at wide receiver, given an invite to NFL Europe, declined and now is making 300k a year as Senior Vice President
with Primerica Financial Services. There are many more like him. The injuries to Anthony G and Austin Collie are a blessing in disguise, because who knows how long Blair White wouldve been on the practice squad waiting for a chance, he was planning on going to dental school but pretty much every scout at the combine told him he would be drafted. Kmic and Beaver, they have to worry about the
future, they probably are working on careers and can't just throw it all
away and hope for a shot at getting a chance to make a living playing
football. Not
everyone can spend years like Mike Hass, who got screwed over, was never long enough
on an active roster to receive an NFL pension when he gets older. If it were up to you, and you had a family to worry about or planning on with your spouse, what would you do if you were Kmic or Beaver? I know Kmic is now a coach at Mount Union, not sure about Beaver.
This is the ridiculous part of the caste system. Most of our guys can't just wait years and hope for a chance in the NFL. They can do this in college as walk ons if they can afford it but after that they have to worry about planning for the future. When dwfs ask "where is the white version of x player?" The answer is, probably working some 9 to 5 job.
I would love to see Beaver or Kmic in the NFL though. Kmic seems like he has a better shot, he is only a year removed and is only working as a runningbacks coach at Mount Union, I don't think that is anything permanent. I am not sure what Beaver is doing, but is probably really jaded with the caste system.
