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.

Definitely not, but he was an all-American and two time B1G tight end of the year.

He was definitely a good prospect. But in no way generational.
