Probably getting more NIL to be a backup then starting at at a small school like he was
That's just it, he wasn't the starter at SIU. He was a backup there. He started 3 (or 4?) games last year due to an injury to their starter. He's thrown about 150 passes in his entire 4-yr career there. In NFL terms, he's a camp body, a non-factor. He might get some mop-up snaps at UW this fall and then he's gone.
