Nick has always said they'll support a kid's decision to leave for first round money. So what this tell's me is that Tua may have been given a <1st round grade.

I don't have a dog in the fight. The kid is much like Burrow in that he's done everything in a totally first-class way throughout his career. There's nothing you can say to knock his game other than that he could improve on certain aspects just like any player could, Burrow included.

The only thing that's an issue is his history of injuries. He's been completely beaten up in less than 2.5 years as a starting QB at Alabama. Two HAS that required surgery, coming back midseason from both. Suffering another gruesome injury that everyone was saddened by. One that the jury is still out on the type of comeback he will have.

I will root for the kid for the rest of his life. Whether he's bagging groceries or running for Congress in Hawaii. But man...if he got a 1st round grade and is being legitimately told he's a Top 10 pick...with the health questions he's got surrounding him, I'd take the generational wealth that opportunity provides and focus on a professional future.

But I'll respect whatever that kid does.
