The correlation between HS recruiting status and NFL draft position 
is even more tenuous than that between HS recruiting status and
collegiate All-American status.

Manning was considered a top recruiting prospect coming out of HS,
and his choice of schools surprised a few experts.

Were Rothlesberger or Rivers both highly regarded recruits?
