With a $4.7 million deal, did Shedeur Sanders prove he's worth every penny against Georgia?

Shedeur Sanders is topping the charts like a king. No, we aren’t talking about any mock draft list or award watchlist. It’s all in the NIL world!

Coach Prime’s son has proven his worth by becoming the top NCAA player with a massive $4.7 million valuation to his name. Now, that’s a huge win for Buffaloes fans. And this feat even outshines the most lucrative deals in college football. Well, let’s just say, he’s worth more than 15 Dawgs combined! 

According to On3’s August 17th report, the Georgia Bulldogs secured a massive $4.3 million NIL deal just before their 2024 season opener. And it’s all due to their partnership with the sports marketing agency ESM. Now, this deal isn’t for just one player—15 of Kirby Smart’s top athletes are included here. Among them, big names like quarterback Carson Beck and defensive back Malaki Starks are leading the pack.

What’s your perspective on:

With a $4.7 million deal, did Shedeur Sanders prove he's worth every penny against Georgia?

Have an interesting take?

Since joining the Colorado Buffaloes, Shedeur’s star power has only grown, and he even became the face of Tom Brady’s clothing brand. It’s safe to say he’s riding high — we mean literally! His brand deals haven’t just boosted his NIL value; they’ve also expanded his luxury car collections. The quarterback now owns several high-end vehicles, from a Rolls Royce Cullinan to a $110k Tesla Cybertruck.

Even during last week’s podcast with Aaron Steinberg, Shedeur was asked if showing up in such luxury cars creates any controversy. His response was simple: “It doesn’t.” He added, “At the end of the day, it’s college football nowadays, so everybody’s getting paid, yeah, like 90% of them.” He’s not wrong though. With the “pay for play” culture taking hold in college football, many athletes are enjoying new luxuries and NIL deals. In fact, CFB stars dominate the top NIL list, holding 7 of the 10 spots. And Buffs fans can proudly say Shedeur is at the very top!
