A lot of former college stars have a much thicker bank account now.
On Thursday night, 32 players heard their name called during the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Dreams became reality for so many talented players, and now they’ll be rolling in millions of dollars as they pursue their careers at the next level.
Just how much will those players be making? We’ve got those numbers.
Five B1G players were drafted on Thursday night, so we took a look at what their contracts will look like when they sign on the dotted line. For comparison, we also included LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, who was the No. 1 selection in the draft, taken by the Cincinnati Bengals.
Technically he’s a former B1G player too, right?
