Slightly off topic but in regards to Hardman at the NFL level...

Is there a difference in pay generally for a WR v. a CB?

(For example, I know that Left Tackles generally make more than other OL)

Just wondering if that would impact his decision...

Edit: Also, from a standpoint of being relatively new here, I see we're getting close to 5K posts in this thread now, I posted once not knowing about the jinx...
We/someone should mark that spot at 4999 in case others don't know. And, yes, I'm superstitious when it comes to this recruiting/football business.

Dallas is in England so I guess it's free for whoever gets it.

I think his odds are better making it as a 5'11" corner than a 5'11" receiver. I'm not sure how much the difference in pay would be, but it probably depends on how good you are relative to your peers at the position.

For example, I would pay Julio Jones more than Patrick Peterson, but would also pay a slightly above average corner more than a slightly above average receiver.

ETA after seeing Barstools post: Looks like it's pretty much even

I think his height is just more prototypical for a CB. Not that there aren't successful 5'11 WRs...
