The issue is possible short term economic loss to the player's NIL value.
Some have claimed that Stingley may be holding himself out of practice to avoid injury, in anticipation of the NFL draft. Others are concerned that he may be injury prone, citing last year when he reportedly played hurt much of the year.
Now, the high profile players may want to pay attention to these issues to maximize current NIL revenue, even if the college NIL revenue is insignificant compared to NFL earning capacity.
