Only the top few people in track and field make big money. This kid looks fast, but still a long way outside the Olympic qualifying time and would look very slow up against that standard.
Even a bench NFL position will earn him far more money than track. Obviously he could improve, but easier chance with football and from what I read it's pretty good at that. Seems to be one of those naturally talented guys that could probably be a pro at 6 or 7 sports if he concentrated at them
