LSU running back Leonard Fournette and Stanford running back Christian McCaffery both sat out their bowl games to preserve their health for the upcoming NFL draft, much to the chagrin of some fans.

Michigan tight end Jake Butt, on the other hand, tried to do the right thing by fans and his teammates by playing in the Wolverines’ Orange Bowl game. Butt, a projected first-round pick, and the winner of both the Ozzie Newsom and Mackey awards in 2015 and 2016 respectively tore his ACL during that Orange Bowl, and likely cost himself millions.

Instead of that first-round evaluation, Butt became a fifth-round pick to the Broncos, which could earn close up to $1 million in guaranteed money over the course of his contract. Though that is a fortune to most, Alabama tight end O.J. Howard made a $6.2 million dollar signing bonus after his first-round selection.

ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter said in an ESPN video Monday that he thinks this will have a ripple effect across college football.

“Unless you’re playing in a national championship or in the final four,” said Schefter, “I think we’re going to see more and more top prospects forgo their final game of the year. If they’ve made it that far, this becomes a business decision, and the school has prospered and profited off these young players, it’s time for the young players to look out for themselves. If it means missing the Chick-fil-A Bowl, or whatever it may be, that’s the way it goes.

“To see Jake Butt go down, to see Jaylon Smith go down last year — who some regarded as the best player in the draft fall to the second round, it’s not right. It’s not fair.”
