See Jaylon Smith, Jake Butt.
How many players over the past 10 years have played in bowl games? Let's say 40 players get on the field for each team. 40-ish bowls, so that's 80 teams = 3200 players.
Each year.
So over the past decade, there have been 32,000 players that play in bowl games, and 2 (that you mention, perhaps there are more, but very, very, very few) have had career-impacting injuries.
The players are at more risk of being seriously injured in the bus ride to the stadium.

Did you read the rest of my post? Opting out has nothing to do with career ending injuries, although that’s still a (very small) potential risk. It’s all about the combine.

How many of those 32,000 were injured on the bus ride to the stadium?
I bet those 2 wish they had opted out
