Too bad he didn't stay in school and finish his education. I'm sure his starting salary with a college degree would've been comparable to his rookie contract.

He can come back when he retires and finish college. We love him at UCF but we know he was a good hit away from missing out of the NFL. Now he needs to take care of his body and his money. Nobody knows how long it is going to last either

Is that a joke? He'll make more in his first year in the NFL than in the first 10 years of a typical college degreed entry level position

He will be making at least $300,000 his rookie year (league minimum). Don't know of any degress that will make that much out of college. I think he made the right decision.
