Short sighted. Pros aren’t guaranteed. The 100 k is.
Let’s say the average college life span of a first round draft choice is three years. And he’s getting 500 k a year.
1.5 is good money. But after the first year, another team bids him and he get a150 k a year raise. That’s 300 k over the span of the remaining two years. That’s not chump change. At least in my world.
Throw in the fact that he may play 7 years in the nfl.
These kids don’t have extended work segments like the rest of us do.
In football, more than any other sport, you have to get the money and as much of it as you can, as fast as you can.
I’m sure Bo Jackson is very well off but would have made a lot more money long term if he would have told the raiders to frick off.
Just my opinion.
And prolly Prothro’s too

So he’s not confident he can get to the pros?
$100k before taxes vs being coached by the dude whose players just won the award for being the best at their position, which happens to be the position you play
That some shite advice lol
