Zach Lee was in summer school on football scholarship with plans to also play baseball. He participated in two-a-day football practice as the No. 1 draftee by the LA Dodgers. After the morning football practice on the last day to sign MLB contract, Les Miles told him to not worry about afternoon practice because he had a big decision to make. The kid really wanted to play both. That afternoon the Dodgers upped the offer to $5.25 million. He signed and he and the Miles family remained friends had stayed in touch.
$5.25 million....and minus taxes he still has most of it invested for the long haul.

It hurt as a fan when he left but it was absolutely the right decision for him. The offense he would’ve had to operate in during that time wouldn’t have opened any doors for him as a football prospect, and who knows how his baseball career would’ve gone at LSU.

Play QB for Les Miles or $5.25m from the Dodgers. Interesting conflict
