No it means that you are a rookie Oh wait you are!!!!! It really depends on the situation. Bad for the fans but good for parents, the player. It gives them a leg up because they still get 4 years of eligibility when they do not play the "redshirt year." They do it for several reasons injury, the position is "too deep" and want to save the player for another year or like my son only played 2 years of highschool football. At 6'6" and 305 lbs he is huge but not polished. They want him to get more technical skills. He already is strong as he is as they say "A mad lifter." Loves to push the iron. But technique is critical compared to highschool ball when you are not coming from some big named highschool program like Valdosta in Georgia or DaMatha in the DC metro area. So, it IS a good thing. Plus your son/daughter get 5 years to complete 4 years worth of academics!
be good at football
good recruiting
A college football data record, is so that the people that are in charge can see what the college student has done that is good and what needs to be improved, including what he has scored, what position he has been playing in, and if they need him to improve for college or not.
We'll know for certain in 2010.

No, to prove to the nfl scouts that you can play football at that level. You must first prove to them you can play at the next level after high school which is college. if you show them your good at the college level them you show might think good at the nfl level.
