The general argument made by the author in "JJ Nelson: Adidas never offered deal" is that while running in the NFL combine JJ Nelson was offered $100,000 by Adidas if he represented them. "When Nelson went to the player suite where he had the choice to run in the latest models from Nike, Under Armor, and Adidas, he said he chose Adidas not only because the shoes were comfortable but because he was aware of the $100,00 prize." In this quote, the author is explaining how Nelson knew about the deal with Adidas. He is making is clear that Nelson was fully aware of every condition in the agreement with Adidas. The author is defending JJ Nelson and explaining how Nelson deserves the money and he is right.
    Personally, I believe that JJ Nelson was wrong and he does not deserve the money. "I wasn't completely focused on it at the time, I was obviously focused on getting a good time in first." This is a quote from JJ Nelson that he said the ESPN. He is trying to defend himself by stating that he was not fully focused on signing anything, but Adidas lucidly stated that in order to win the cash prize you must one be wearing the Adidas brand shoes, and two sign a contract to endorse the brand. Nelson did not succeed in doing so, therefore he was not eligible to win the money from Adidas. The other runners had no issue with signing the waiver and running the race wearing the Adidas brand shoes so I don't see how Nelson could have any excuse as to why he did not sign anything. By and large, JJ Nelson did not sign the waiver he was supposed to therefore he does not deserve the money prize.
