If you're the Oakland A's, do you allow him to play football at Oklahoma this fall?? I just think if you decide take someone 9th overall you can't take the risk of him blowing out his knee or something.. Especially with him being a mobile QB, he is going to be taking a lot of hits..
A Player- protects the $ value of the signing bonus. Also- there is the no football playing bonus and there is the football playing bonus - 2 diff #s. Eventually this guy goes baseball, as he’s not nfl material. Worse case- he doesn’t sign and I think they get a compensatory pick next year. And in the end- how many 1st rounders make the bigs. Has to be the worst conversion rate of any sport.
