What Am I Missing With What-If

So I can't really see the what if here. It looks like it is just any random player that transferred schools at some point?

Most of the lower overall cards seem to be focused on guys who either transferred or committed to one school out of high school but then switched and never actually played for the other team.

The LTD guys and Pat White are a mix.

Pat White was drafted to play pro baseball but never signed his contract and went to college to play football (What If he had played baseball instead)

Russell Wilson was drafted to play pro baseball as well but went to NC State to play football then transferred to Wisconsin. (What If he had played baseball and/or stayed at NC State)

Antonio Gates was famously a college basketball player who didn't play any college football but ended up getting signed by the Chargers since NBA scouts didn't think he was big enough to play in the NBA. (What If he never played football)

Chris Gamble played multiple positions in college (CB, WR, and Returner) but when he went pro, he only played CB. (What if he had played WR in the NFL instead)

I love the idea of the promo. Kyler Murray, Charlie Ward, Jeff Samardjiza, Otto Graham, Bo Jackson, Jabrill Peppers, Julius Peppers, Donovan McNabb, Richard Sherman, Julian Edelman could all be guys we end up getting an upgrade or new card of.

I was aware of the guys like Gates. I was more curious on some of the lower elites. I think the promo is a cool idea I was just a bit confused. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm hoping for a what if Peyton Manning got the Heisman or what if Hendon Hooker didn't tear his acl. I highly doubt either happens but I just need a new UT QB.

UT has Arch and Vince? <.<
jk, idk why Nico hasn’t gotten an upgrade at this point. As for the what if’s yea it’s like people that had decommitted from schools etc.
