Can't think of any other sport where the odds are this low in finding an elite player.

Football has become a sport for those with fewer opportunities. After the CTE stuff came out, parents from better means typically don’t want their kids participating. 

Notice there are more black QBs now?

White flight from football is real. 

Honestly, if your kid doesn’t have the physical traits needed, there is no reason for them to take the risk playing football. I’ve had friends whose high school kids have had surgery after surgery due to sports injuries with no real path for that kid to go anywhere with their physical traits. It’s a dangerous sport.
