Or the defense. I hate how our bitterness and pettiness prevents us from doing good analysis.
Right now his is a two down d lineman in the nfl. That is a role player. They get drafted in the 5th and 6th rounds and get paid $300000 to $800000 per year.
4 down linemen make $1500000 to $3000000 and are drafted in the first three rounds.
To be an NFL 4down lineman he needs to lose 30-40 lbs and use the additional speed for a season to show the scouts what he can do.
If he comes back he could make a lot more and have a longer career than if he goes.
This is the gamble. This is the decision.
