It's actually smart to leave early now and you'll see less and less players going back for their senior year regardless of their draft potential.

It's because the rookie wage cap. A players money now comes in their second contract whether you are a 2nd rounder or UDFA. So the faster you get to the second contract, the faster you get your money.



There is truth to this, but it's not as black and white as you indicate.

You have to last four years in the league to get a second contract. Guys drafted in the later rounds have less than a 50 percent chance of even making a roster their first year.
