Quarter backs and recievers. Those are the players making significantly more than the one million over their entire career as you stated.
Still, if those fringe players being used primarily on special teams don't think the risk associated with playing such a position are worth it for a measly $1,000,000 over three years? Why take the risk in the first place? Get a job doing something else and avoid the long term health effects of playing professional football.

Yeah I wonder why that is, could it possibly be because those are the most high profile players and the ones who generally have the most obvious impact on the game? Just because injuries to star players recieve the most press coverage doesn't mean that they suffer more injuries.
