If he did make a mistake, and I'm not saying he did, he may have entered the draft after his freshman year post-Heisman trophy.
As for the 2014 draft, there were rumors that he would be selected at 1 (Texans), 3 (Jaguars), 8 (Browns) and multiple draft slots until he was selected at 22 by the Browns. There were rumors of Dallas at 16. He did great all things considered. The money for 1st rounders isn't all that much different with the newer NFL labor agreement.  |
