Is it pretty much just high profile QBs taken in 2nd round and later?

Meh, the NFL is still the dream for most guys. The money thing isn’t a real factor for most players.

In a few years you’ll have some once the rev share money kicks in

There will be great college players that dont project to the pros like Tebow…

Off the top of my head, yes. Leonard and Howard certainly are. Maybe a couple of later round tackles but even that is doubtful

Quinn Ewers is the only one I can think of who knowingly turned down millions in transfer money to be a mid-round pick. Sanders may take a pay cut if he drops far in the 2nd or to the 3rd round

Mcshay said a lot of the kids that got big NIL deals are going to the league broke because their parents/families/friends/agents spend all their NIL money.

Well, I have yet to see a "On3 valuation" be direct deposited into a bank account so a real life actual NFL contract is undefeated against that.

Multi-year starting D1 QB’s who are destined to be late round flyers or UDFA’s. Not necessarily high end guys, but the ones who are well known at the conference level.

I think this is a great question. It certainly looks like the college QBs will be the most affected, so many reported to be knocking down NIL in the $500k to $1million range…….

If they are 2nd round and later the pay cut looks inevitable, and then out of the first two days…..oooofffff.

Will this cause more lawsuits against the NCAA to force more years of eligibility…..?
