That is the position that matters. Friends. Family. Those things matter. NFL is just one aspect and the NFL aspect will take care of itself no matter where he goes if he has the talent.
I know a 1st / 2nd team PAC 12 kid, depending which list you look at, that did not get drafted and did not get signed. He was expected to get drafted. He was a great college player. He was also a white kid who grew up in Utah. Not LDS. No missionary age issue. Not many white kids are getting drafted at certain positions - reality.
