Maybe. At this rate, he's assured of being either a late round draft choice or an unrestricted free agent. A lot of those kids don't make the team and if they do it may be at the league minimum. I know the league minimum is a lot of money for most of these kids; but if Weathersby had come back for his Sr season, benefitted from another year of strength conditioning, stayed healthy, watched more film, learned the game better, learned from a new position coach w/ legitimate NFL experience and demonstrated good leadership qualities, he moves up a couple rounds in the draft and makes considerably more money. Granted, injuries are always the wildcard, but I think a lot of the ballplayers leaving early to be drafted in a late round would benefit from another year of college ball.
