I feel like you'd have to be pretty popular to get enough opportunity to make money on other stuff in order for it to compare to what you can make playing in the NFL at the top of your position group. I assume that stuff is just icing on the proverbial cake rather than something players can be expected to factor into their "what can I get right now now now in black and white" contracts.
I also recall the commercial stalwarts like Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahommes making commercials before and after winning the SB (and Baker Mayfield doing the same minus the SB thing), rather than winning it and it then waiting for advertisers to come calling.
I agree, but then again Stafford doesn't have the personality and doesn't look like someone you'd want trying to get people excited about a product or event, but Chase does.
Also, Stafford, while playing an obviously big role in them winning, wasn't a top player at his position like Chase is.
With Burrow's improved protection, I feel like a very big year is coming up for Chase and the advertisers will come calling.
It's also not like how it used to be with only big market players getting exposure because with the internet and things like fantasy football, more people will become fans of Chase, Burrow, and the team.
