Let me ask you this: As a college student who has not made any money for the past few years, you are almost guaranteed a few million dollars, but an injury takes away millions as well. There's no point in playing, coaches have seen your tape. Do you risk it for one more game? Or decide that your future is more important than one bowl game?

Fourth round, but yeah, he lost some coin.  That was a particularly gruesome injury though.....highly unlikely event.
