Well yeah. He wasn’t good enough to enter the league despite it being such a terrible QB class

NIL will cause some juniors that would jump for 3rd/4th round money to stay for their senior years. I guess one good thing out of all of this. A lot of really good college players that are super valuable to their teams aren't projected to be high draft picks in the league.
Injury risk is still there as it's a 1 year payment v. a contract, but you'll see more of this.

I thought Chambliss should've gone to the NFL and was hoping the Falcons would draft him. All I know is that little fricker couldn't miss in the Sugar Bowl and looked like Russell Wilson in his prime!

Where would the Black Bears be without the local judicial system saving their sorry arse program?
We’ll find out soon.
