Former Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence is ready to begin his professional career and he is already getting endorsement offers from all over the place.
Trevor Lawrence, the presumptive No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft this week, signed an endorsement deal with Gatorade last week and there has been plenty of speculation surrounding what major deal might be next for the quarterback.
On Monday morning, Blockfolio announced a partnership with Lawrence with the tagline that “the world of sports and crypto will never be the same.”

Trevor Lawrence has locked in his future, diving into the world of crypto
Many believe that cryptocurrency is the way of the future and seeing apps like this begin to get major attention with endorsement deals from stars like Lawrence show that there is some merit in those sentiments.
According to reports from Tigernet, Lawrence’s signing bonus with the company was paid in all crypto tokens. At the age of 21, Lawrence is already showing that he is looking towards his future by investing.
With as much money as he is set to make, one of the wisest decisions Lawrence can make is to look at investment opportunities and spend time learning about ways to multiply and expand his brand.
He is ahead of the curve in terms of signing with a cryptocurrency provider simply because that hasn’t become a ‘mainstream’ means of endorsement opportunities from professional athletes yet, but it is coming in a big way.
Lawrence’s expected rookie deal is projected to be somewhere in the $35 million range for four years. Following that rookie deal- possibly before it even ends if he performs at a high level- there is a chance Lawrence could become the highest-paid player in the NFL, likely making somewhere in the ballpark of $40-$45 million per year.
