Should be a 1 player per mentor, progressive buff to mental stats, permanent, but very small gains based on the mentor's actual stats, but only beneficial to one player, with a limit on how many mentors may be on a given team, and the Mentor must be on the depth chart either backing up or starting ahead of that player.
For example: Mentor at CB position, Mentor has RAW 80 vis, 60 con. Mentor is assigned to back up CB1. Starter assigned to CB1 receives a buff of 0.27 (3%) vis and 0.2 con each regular season game played under this arrangement. Mentor's decline percentages apply to these numbers, and their EQ and other peripheral buffs do not. If Mentor starts ahead of the player they are mentoring, that buff doubles to 6% of their vis and con per game.
It at least would be somewhere in the same galaxy as reality, where now it is just an insane buff that has 0 relevance to reality.
