Linebacker Jaylon Smith injured himself in the Fiesta bowl a couple of years back.  He was a top ten pick that eventually fell to 34th.  He received a contract for four years, 6.5 million.  The 10th pick that year, Eli Apple got 4 years, 15 million.  Smith’s bowl game injury cost him over 8 million.

This. It's just not worth getting hurt for some of these players. It could potentially cost them millions of dollars. 

If I'm a surefire first round draft pick, my college career is over in late November/early December. It's a no-brainer, if you ask me
