Near the start of Money’s Junior year of college, he sustained a foot injury that hampered his performance and finally made him out of the final two games of the season. The former high ranked prospect had a very mediocre season stat wise while playing through the injury, and 2 sacks in the season were not the sort of numbers Wisconsin fans were expecting. While he was eligible to declare for the NSFL draft, Money made the decision that would eventually propel his career to where it is today.
Instead of taking the fairly guaranteed money of going professional immediately but being seen as a backup level player, he risked it by returning for his senior year. He felt he owed it to his college and was willing to bet on himself bouncing back and improving his draft stock. This risk paid off as he had a superb 12 sack season on the way to his conference bowl game. Money had shown that he was the prospect they had thought in previous seasons. When he finally was drafted to the NSFL, he had much better tape and quickly became a key piece of an excellent Kansas City defence. If it hadn’t been for his senior year, he may have quickly fizzled out of the league. Instead he is fast becoming one of the best DL in the league, and should continue to be for many seasons to come.
