Agreed, but how much an NFL qb is making matters little to none in this conversation with the exception of until pay for play is fixed, NFL teams will have to consider increasing rookie QB contract numbers to “recruit” college players into the NFL draft.

Could totally see it soon no QB going in first round cause all them coming back for NIL money

yeah, I mean you're already seeing guys return to school for that reason when previously would have declared for the draft.

In similar discussions I always find the "well he won't be incentivized to..." thing pretty hit or miss because often we're talking about MLB aces or NFL starting QBs or other professionals. Sometimes it's true, other times it isn't, because it overlooks that at a certain level you're usually a competitive sociopath and the money isn't necessarily the driving factor at all.

But I do think it's WAY more likely to impact you, perhaps in ways you can't even really make sense of, when you're talking about a 19 year old. Which is no shade particular to Taylor, he may be mature enough to handle it. But I think plenty of elite 19 yos, even those who will eventually develop into the guys I talk about in the first paragraph, won't be able to avoid it.

That’s essentially what Caleb Williams average per year on his rookie deal.

Probably still smarter to go NFL because it’s guaranteed for four years, but holy shite. Basically unless you’re guaranteed to go top 5 it now makes more financial sense for a QB to stay in school. And this is state! God only knows what the bigger schools are going to pay.

Dumb question, but how does a site like On3 verify these numbers? How do we know it's not puff put out by the player's agents or big talking boosters?
