Nah.
15th round pick isn't gonna get a huge offer. Usually the 'bonus baby' slots are at 11 and 12 in the new slotted system. Guys that fall into the mid-teens are sometimes taken for insurance purposes (in case they can't get one of those 11 or 12 round guys to take their money and they don't want to just lose it), but oftentimes it's just a flier for one of those cases where a kid really didn't want to go to college afterall.
I suspect he got a $50Kish offer but that's not enough to forego a chance to make yourself a premier prospect.
