For Kicks:
"I'll sit down with Coach Tressel. His thing is that if you're not a first round pick, come back and try and improve your draft status. I'm going to sit down with him, sit down with my family and make the best decision for everyone."
- Donte Whitner

His family is well off, so Donte's decision to turn pro is moreso due to his impressive draft status than a financial need as in the case of Santonio Holmes (who has fathered multiple children which he pays child support for).
