Just about every post-combine mock draft had him as a late first round choice with positive reviews on his performance there. The last pick in the first round will be worth about $5.6 million guaranteed and some high 2nd round picks get close to that. Only the biggest college stars like Arch Manning and Cooper Flagg have that much total potential earnings based on endorsements, sponsorships, and other NIL-related opportunities. Lendeborg's estimated NIL value is $2.3M which would be close to his rookie season salary. Seems like he wants to move up to a lottery pick next season.
