Guys usually don’t cash in when they take out injury-based insurance policies.
Oregon CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu was a first-team AP All-American last season and regarded as one of the top corners in this draft class.
A torn ACL in December while practicing for the College Football Playoff caused his draft stock to plummet. . Luckily for Ifo, he took out an insurance policy before his senior season when he passed up the 2014 NFL Draft that covers some loss of value.
ESPN.com reports the insurance policy had him projected as the No. 12 pick before the injury, which would have guaranteed him $10.5 million. The policy kicked in after Day 2 of the draft ended and he was not selected, paying him $3 million.
