DeSean Jackson says NIL money has weakened college players’ hunger to reach the NFL when turning pro could mean a pay cut “They’re very entitled. They think they know it all. You know, I think the money side of it is kind of, you know, took out the real love, the passion, the heart, and the game, because guys just feel like they’re deserving of [the] money.” “Not to say they’re not working for, but I just feel like the money of it has left out a lot of principles that we kind of came up on, the grit, the hunger.” “At the end of the day, we got a little bit of money, from our stipends and stuff, but I feel like that made us want to really make it to the league.” “Nowadays, with what these guys are getting it’s like, ‘sh*t, I’mma stay in college because I’m gonna get more than I’m gonna get as a rookie.’”
