Your question is so off, it isn't even apples to oranges. At least they're both fruit. Your question is more like apples to steak. Tee will be considered and will get drafted, The Harvard grad is interviewing with a specific company. Tee has no say so on who drafts him. His goal is to get drafted and he will. Tee isn't doing something a lot of players haven't done in the past, or even this year(Chase and Burrow). There's so much riding on his 40 and drills and if he doesn't feel right, he has his pro day to show scouts what he can do.
He was in Indy for the combine, so I'm pretty sure he was interviewed by plenty of teams. He will still be interviewed by plenty of teams interested in him to gauge his personality and he will answer tons of questions on not participating. You can't be serious with the "ability to perform in a competitive setting" quote. You can't be. It's guys in their underwear running and jumping, on their own. Who would he be competing against? Watch his game film to see him in a competitive environment. He didn't blow his chances for an interview or the job he seeks like your Harvard Grad did. You gonna be mad if we interview him? Not me.
