As to the bolded:

I'm not so sure.

Parsons opted out because he has a young child and feared exposure. 

Players in the Big 10 and PAC 12 opted out after their conferences cancelled seasons and simply didn't opt back in

Chase opted out because he could and signed with an agent

But yes; it's a question each will have to answer.

Interviewer? "You opted out of college football last year, why could we expect you not to do the same if given the option this year in the NFL?"

One answer none of them will be able to give: "Because I put my team above myself" 

The root cause of all of it is because of COVID.
If it were me and I was already a projected top pick, I wouldn't want to risk my own health or those in my family that I might interact with, as my stock really couldn't have gotten higher.
