I remember hearing during the draft that he had an insurance policy that would pay him $! million/ round for each of the 1st three rounds if he didn't get drafted because of injury.

So this tragic injury paid him $3 million dollars.

I think I heard that Oregon got a similar insurance policy for all their Seniors. "As incentive to stay for their Senior year". If true, great idea but how is it not an NCAA violation?

I was pumped when we drafted him because of the possible upside that comes with him (I also wanted us to draft Lael Collins in the 7th as well for the same reason)


Is he the one that had a 3 million dollar insurance policy in case of injury?

I know he had an insurance policy (not sure for what amount) if he slipped out of a certain round. I think Oregon talked him into coming back to school and taking out the policy as a backup plan.

He was pretty much guaranteed top 15. He was the top rated CB until he decided to not declare.
