I’d rather be paid to sit


Based on recent numbers

Being drafted 1st overall as a QB is $32 million gtd.

12th overall is $14 million gtd.

50th overall is $4 million gtd.

Sitting out is $0 guaranteed, and he wouldn't be getting any closer to his second contract where the real money is. Unless he has a terrible prognosis, he should go pro, get paid to rehab, learn the playbook, and get closer to the bigger payday.

He should only go back to school if he doesn't get a first round grade which is extremely unlikely based on what we know.

You think he’ll be drafted first after sitting a year over Lawrence?

If you know anything about the NFL, especially QB’s, you know the real money comes with the 2nd contract. By backing up his 2nd contract one year (let’s assume Tua is a very capable NFL QB), he does serious more financial damage waiting one more year.

Plus... let’s say a few teams have reservations about him, so he falls to #10 - #15 in the draft, that’s fantastic for his career. He’ll be going to a much better team than he would being a top 5 pick.
