Filthy rich: How much money every 2025 B1G first-round draft pick will make

The 2025 NFL Draft is in the rearview mirror, and the Big Ten came out of Green Bay with an impressive showing!

Across all 3 days, the B1G came away trailing only the SEC in terms of total players selected. In the first draft since their official expansion into super-conference status, the two leagues dominated the entire event, including a historic first-round for the B1G.

On Thursday night, a total of 11 B1G stars were drafted, breaking the conference’s previous record of 9 players taken in the first round. The trenches were the biggest area of focus, with 5 defensive linemen from the B1G selected. Offensively, it was much of the same with 3 offensive linemen and a pair of tight ends selected.

Spotrac has since compiled full contract projections for every first-round pick. Here’s a look at what every first-round B1G selection is projected to make to begin their NFL journeys:
