"I just feel like sometimes those kids are getting too much money and they haven't even played a snap of ball yet,"

"I do feel like there should be a (freshman salary) cap because now people are just chasing money and everything like that, and what I saw towards my later years, junior and senior year, we have kids with no experience, no plan, talking about, 'I need 'X' amount of money,' and they're not even working hard. They're not going to class. They're late to stuff. They're messing up in practice all the time. Messing up in the games. Not taking nothing serious. Not putting in no extra work.

Miami Dolphins rookies generally support NIL while urging limits on incoming freshmen payments. Rookies reported that some freshmen receive large sums without on-field experience, creating entitlement and reduced commitment to academics and practice. Several rookies argued a freshman salary cap would encourage earning compensation through performance and protect team culture. Safety Dante Trader Jr. warned that unrestricted NIL deals can undermine loyalty and turn players into short-term contractors. Running back Ollie Gordon II said pay should be earned after proving oneself on the field. Rookies linked NIL to increased transfers and shifts in college football dynamics.
