The lure of making the big time wold be pretty hard to pass up compared to possibly years in the minor leagues first if he planned baseball.
There's no guarantee he will be successful in either sport so regardless of which one he chooses he will likely always wonder 'what if'. Tough decision.
Regarding longevity. football is a crapshoot but Deshaun Watson, Carson Wentz, Josh Allen, Sam Darnold all had injuries early in their career, potentially career enders or limiters. RG III too but he's managed to make about $25 million from football so maybe not too bad. Like you said, the guaranteed money might be the difference maker.
