I agree with you, I doubt there's any way Burrow can make up $50-100m on sponsorships, because he's going to get some if he wants them regardless, so it isn't about his total sponsorships but how much more he could potentially get over normal with increased success. That'd be an awfully large increase.

Also, does Burrow even really do much sponsorship stuff? He isn't in the Heisman House and he seems like he's generally a pretty private guy off the field. Even if you want to do them, being outgoing and comfortable enough to be good in commercials is a big part of it, too. As evidenced by Mayfield who was good in the commercials even if they vastly outnumbered his on-field successes.

Tbh, I think he doesn't do many commercials by choice. Like you said, he's a private guy. I also don't think he's comfortable in front of cameras, period. He always seems a bit nervous and short on breath in interviews.

I think he just loves family and football. Then again, most people thought he got the veneers to be more marketable, but the more time goes on, the less it looks like he wants to be anything like State Farm boy and his social media addicted wife and brother.
