The dude’s dad also played in the NFL so it’s not like he’d be struggling for money regardless. Still think he comes out, though
Of course but his dad playing in the NFL means he has first hand knowledge of how important and financially smart it is to go when you’re ready, and he’s ready.
Look at the tragedies like Jake Butt, generational talent at TE, guaranteed to go in the first round, gets injured and losses possibly tens of millions of dollars and never really made an impact in the NFL.
One freak injury in college and you lose everything, with his draft position you go, and any advice saying otherwise including OSU coaches is bad advice. Mi remember Calipari at Kentucky openly saying he supports players to go pro if they’re ready and to go get that bag, and more importantly invest wisely and don’t lose it.
Jake Butt was not a generational talent lmao
“Generational talent” is one of those phrases we need to exile from football. It’s used so often it’s become meaningless.
Yup. Outside of guys like Donald it’s pretty tough to say.
Donald was not a generational prospect though.
