Imagine if Trevor Lawrence had decided to take the 2020 season off with Clemson to debut last weekend for the Seattle Dragons?

An NCAA player skipping his final seasons as he waits for NFL draft eligibility might be a few years down the road, but XFL commissioner Oliver Luck noted his league may be open to signing college freshmen or sophomores.

“We haven’t dipped our toe in that pond, but we could in the future,” Luck told The Dan Patrick Show.

The NFL requires draft-eligible players to be three years removed from high school.

Prior to the season, Luck had said it would be a “case-by-case basis” on if it would attempt to sign younger college talent, but it may only make real financial sense for quarterbacks.

According to Yahoo! Sports, top XFL QBs will earn a salary of $495,000. (They do have limitations. Just ask Colin Kaepernick.) The average salary for position players is around $55,000, and isn’t guaranteed, so it would have to be a desire to play professionally instead of getting free tuition.

It will be interesting to see if the XFL’s stance -- provided the league shows sustainability -- affects NFL rules. The NBA currently has a one-and-done rule in place for college basketball players, but that likely will end in 2022.
