I think with Fox, he was also a few years away from being ready for the pro's, so by the time he had to make a decision, he was already close to the free agency "loophole".
For players that are ready to go pro sooner, it makes no sense to wait and lose a couple of years of earning potential.
Fox was a 3rd rounder for a reason. It wasn't his potential, but when he would likely realize it that was the reason.
