Social media will be good to Trevor Lawrence and those around him for the foreseeable future, including his brother Chase who has already sold more than $250,000 worth of NFT’s.
Roughly 10 days ago, a report came out that stated that by playing college football, Trevor Lawrence had lost roughly $150 million in potential paydays because he could not make money on his name. They also mentioned the change in the rookie pay scale a few years ago and then heading to small market Jacksonville instead of New York would also cost him.
Well, looks like they are wrong.
Trevor Lawrence has been the next big thing since he was 14 and the only other two people walking this planet that has been able to see an elite level of success with that sort of pressure are Tiger Woods and LeBron James.
Both of them were saddled with the stress of fandom and expectations very young in life. While people may not like them for their political beliefs or personal lives, they exceeded the expectations set for them and have accumulated generational wealth.
Draft prospects with the highest potential social media earnings per year, per @opendorse.

Trevor Lawrence is on that same pathway to a billion-dollar fortune
Since that report came out, Trevor Lawrence has signed huge endorsement deals with major companies like ADIDAS and Gatorade. He has also signed multi-million dollar deals with global cryptocurrency app Blockfolio as well as Bose.
While shoe deals are not as lucrative for NFL players as they are NBA players, Trevor will make plenty of money from other streams during his career.
According to Front Office Sports and Opendorse, Trevor is also the most lucrative athlete in this year’s NFL draft.
The Trevor Lawrence brand is expected to generate nearly $3 million a year just from his social media accounts on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Adding a platform like TikTok would be even more profitable as well.
Lawrence is clearly done a terrific job early of not only setting himself up with financial security but also his family and despite what outsiders may claim. He will never hurt for more money and given the going rate for elite quarterbacks when they sign their second contracts, he will collectively make more than a billion dollars should his NFL career pan out the way it is expected to.
