With days’ breath away from the 2024 NFL draft, the top projected QB of the draft class, Caleb Williams is expecting to be a long-term part of the organization he joins. Whichever team he decides to debut his NFL career from would impact his career earnings majorly, since the QB has earned lavishly from his NIL days.

Caleb Williams had already made potential NFL-level endorsement money. This is why his joining a franchise that gives him equally posh earnings might turn out to be a more influential factor than anticipated.

Per ON3 reports, Caleb Williams’ annual valuation stands at $2.7 million, which constitutes his $860K NIL value and $1.8 million roster value in 2024. This amount saw a major thrust post his Heisman-winning season. Per the Athletic, Williams could have easily made about $10 million from endorsement deals during his tenure at UFC.
