Have no doubt that teams have used Raiola coming in as a deterrent to him, and Brock knowing he wouldn't 'stand up' to the competition. Heck, being a QB requires a large ego and self confidence, but you gotta have a dose of reality thrown in as well. AND, they all wanna play, and sooner than later, because every elite team is going to recruit the 'next great thing' at qb, knowing that not everyone pans out. Having said that, don't know what he's facing at Free Shoes University in the way of competition. So, maybe NIL was the tie-breaker. That's 'crooting, no?
