there was also a time when the players just got what they got,...and were stuck with the same team their entire career unless traded. I remember both times...and either way you slice it wad was a bust... he never once demonstrated that he even wanted to play pro football....he just demonstrated that he wanted to get paid..
from his wiki....
A lengthy holdout ensued, centered almost directly on both his demand to be paid closer to the contracts signed by the two previous picks,
Indianapolis Colts'
Peyton Manning out of
University of Tennessee at No. 1 and the
San Diego Chargers'
Ryan Leaf from
Washington State University at No. 2 rather than one closer to
Heisman Trophy winner
Charles Woodson selected by the
Oakland Raiders at No. 4, and a provision allowing him to void the contract before expiration if he chose to do so.
dude wanted to be paid like a quarterback......
screw that chump.
