Notre Dame put actual pressure on him and he folded pretty quick. Then there was the game they lost where he went into the crowd and started crying while being held by his mom. Not sure I would want him leading an NFL locker room.
IMO it's unfair to judge a player for being emotional after a game. Don't teams want players who care that much?
 
I swear every bowl game has just been awful weather, forecast for Memphis tomorrow looks like cloudy and 40 degrees.

It wouldn't be as much of a thing if he didn't tweet "lol" about Max Duggan getting emotional last year:

That said, I personally don't see "clear obvious #1 draft pick" traits in Williams, but people a lot smarter than me seem to.

Williams has bust written all over him. He had all the talent and advantages in the world at USC and still was only 7-5. That's not a winner or a leader in the locker room.

I think he'll end up like Jameis Winston or Trubisky, talent but doesn't have the leadership or intangible skills that make an NFL QB.
 
Freeze your ass off, pay a pretty penny for front row seats and be a mile away and seated at near eye level behind the sidelines and unable to see anything.

Yeah it's a fun concept in that 'vintage' type of thing but there's also a reason thry stopped using those stadiums for football.
 
another thing I was thinking about today with some of these big money schools is NIL and bowl games. Doesn't it seem odd that players are getting big money for NIL deals and then decide to transfer or sit out to prepare for the NFL? For example if Ohio State NIL is paying one of their best receivers 300k per year, and he decided to sit out to prep for the NFL, does anything happen?

there should almost be some sort of contract or agreement that says if you opt out of a bowl game, you lose X amount of your University generated NIL deal or something. Maybe there is, but just seems like people are doing whatever they want.
Especially if they have an attorney involved in drafting a contract, these sort of contingencies are almost certainly already in place. People don’t usually report on the minutia of a contract unless it’s relevant for a specific report/issue (see, e.g., Kyler Murray video game clause).

It’s much easier to just report the number and get clicks that way.

Legally these NIL deals can't be pay for play so I doubt there's specific verbiage about playing in a bowl game (or any game).
