he got drafted.

I'm still shocked that happened.

He absolutely shoulda left early, then — cuz his game had very little chance of translating at the next level.

Is Chase better equipped to succeed in the NFL than Dax? I think so — but he's still marginal enough I'd be very cautious about leaving early if I were him. Yes, age is a factor for him much moreso than it was for Dax, but still — you have such a promising Sr year at BYU shaping up — why trade that for an NFL experience that likely won't ever give you a shot at playing in a significant way?

The "but I took my shot" justification rings hollow to me if the risks are too high. Particularly now in the age of NIL.
