Its the same thing with Tim Tebow a while back.

This will actually hurt his draft prospects and he will drop down. Many NFL teams are not prepared for this type of media attention and will pass up on him, not wanting to deal with this. I expect teams from major media markets like NY or California etc. to take him because they are more prepared and used to it. BTW, dropping down in the draft will get him less money guaranteed in his contract.
