Oh yeah, totally agree ... but in his case, he would have been drafted higher than where we took him (prolly second round at worst). And who knows if he ever gets injured.
His "problem" was his pursuit of his education, and dream of med school. You don't go pro early when that is also important to you.
He's gonna be just fine.
