NFL Draft 2015: Senquez Golson Drafted by Steelers in Round 2

Get paid!

Senquez Golson declined a seven figure option to become a member of the Boston Red Sox out of high school in order to play football at Ole Miss. He abandoned baseball after a one-year stint on the roster as a freshman. A three-star cornerback recruit out of high school, that must have been a very difficult decision.

I wrote an article in January about how Golson's decision to play football looks like a smart one on many levels. Today, turning down all that money has proven to be the right choice. Golson got to the NFL, where he'll get paid millions of dollars to play the sport he loves.
