Willis McGahee says he’d have never skipped a bowl game to preserve his health … telling TMZ Sports the loyalty you get from your college team is worth more than all the NFL money in the world.
McGahee — a star — tore his ACL and MCL in a gruesome injury during the ’02 Fiesta Bowl … his last game at the University of Miami.
Willis was expected to be a top 5 pick before the injury … but ended up being drafted 23rd. He missed his entire rookie season.
So, if anyone understands Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey sitting out, it’d be McGahee, right?
Not exactly … check out the video.
