Alright. Villenueva went to active duty and served 3 tours in Afghanistan. At almost age 26 he signed with the Eagles, was released, and then signed by Pittsburgh. So, from that example, I guess they do have to give their service first.
They used to let them postpone service and go pro first. In 2017, they rescinded that policy and they now have to serve two years first before going reserve. I suspect Villanueva wanted to serve above playing football.
