from the Athletic:
Iamaleava threw for 2,616 yards with 19 touchdowns and five interceptions last year in his second season, first as a starter. Eleven of those 19 touchdowns came against Chattanooga, UTEP and Vanderbilt. He was eighth in the SEC in yards per attempt in conference games.
His stats appear not to be of the elite class, but he did get his team into the playoffs. What happens if cannot land a deal at least equal to what he was getting at Tennessee? Does he take a lesser amount, fire his agent? Or does he sit out a year, in hopes of getting a better deal next year, petition the NFL to be eligible to be drafted, or play in the XFL (whatever the name is of the other league) or enrolled at CalTech and major in Space Physics?
