I dunno how many 3rd to 7th round kids could improve their stock enough to jump to the 1st round. However, if I am projected in the 4th round and I believe I could improve to the 3rd round by staying in school a year more then I am leaving early. Mainly to get to that second contract quicker. The money difference is only a few hundred thousand (second contract worth millions) and that is the way it is being marketed to the kids now.
Make the jump sooner and start working on the second contract instead of staying in school, the only ones who will stay are the ones who really enjoy the college life and have no financial reason to leave early.

Most of those late rounders aren't even going to see a 2nd contract. Hence, that doesn't make sense as a driving reason. What makes sense to me is simply this.
Football beats the frick out of you. I think most players realize their bodies only have so much football contact in them. Hence, playing for free(LOL) only makes sense as long as the possible growth in income from improvement is large.
When that number begins to shrink, it makes less and less sense.
