I'm sure a large number of players feel that way. But then when they don't start right away or playing time isn't to their liking, the agents and families are whispering in their ears about the grass on the other side of the fence. The pressure on some of these kids has got to be unbelievable!
Too bad only a few have his attitude, and perspective about NIL deals. He TRULY wants to be a DAWG, and you cant ask for anymore than that 👏Especially now, when they almighty dollar is the first, and foremost thing on most of these kids minds these days..GoDAWGS!
The bad thing with not paying the high amount some of these guys ask for is now we have play against them. I guess time will tell….
Cant argue that fact at all. I can't imagine the pressure they're under. Most of these kids are lucky if they've seen more than a few hundred dollars at a time. All of a sudden, you've got every Tom Dick and Harry offering tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to these kids. That kind of money will make a big and lasting impression on a young mind. I Don't like NIL never have, never will, but times are changing,and its not going away. So i say, you better get it while you can, because you never know, the very next play could end your football career permanently.
When teams attempt to win the recruitment ranking in lieu of games, these kids will start to understand that there are more opportunities than there is money. Hopefully, the landscape will change. We see it yearly with the transfer portal, when kids who think they should be starting in lieu of sitting after the money effects wears off.
Some will grow up in a hurry, some will get buried in the lifestyle that the money provides, and some will fall apart under the pressure. For example, if your starting QB shows up in a new Lamborghini, there's a chance it will not go over well with the other players. Just a thought.
