The NFL Draft is one of the biggest sporting events of the year. College players get drafted by NFL teams and often the top picks sign very lucrative contracts.
One of the top players in this years draft. Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn was expected to be a top 10 pick. Many teams passed on Quinn because he had what they considered to be a subpar senior year.
Quarterbacks are often the most important player for a franchise. With all of the teams passing on Quinn it is estimated that he lost around 10 million dollars in guaranteed money by slipping from the top to number 22 where he was selected by the Cleveland Browns.
Quinn's slip shows just how much money can be involved in professional sports and how much of a difference money wise a player gets when selected in the top 10 as opposed to the top 25.
