Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe’s NIL Deals are a high indicator of how brands perceive his NFL upside.
Jalen Milroe’s NIL Deals Rank Him In the Top Ten Earners In The Nation
Quarterbacks, as usual, are dominating the buzz before the 2025 NFL Draft on Thursday (April 24). For Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, his stock has risen within the past week with rumors of him being selected in the first round, and the Katy, Texas native is scheduled to attend the draft in person.
Milroe has been a player of interest despite a turbulent but productive 2024 season for the Crimson Tide. He threw for 2,844 yards, scoring 16 touchdowns as opposed to throwing 11 interceptions. It certainly didn’t affect his NIL deal value, as he ranks first on the team earning $2.3 million. The combined value of his deals placed him at seventh in the nation overall, according to Athlon Sports.
The 6-foot-2, 225 lb signal caller signed one deal with Panini America last season, fulfilling a childhood dream of his. “Growing up as a kid, you always dream of having your own trading card. I’m excited to partner with Panini to have my own trading cards and be a part of a company that has so many popular trading card brands with college football fans,” he said to On3.
“He will be a great partner for us as we continue to grow our Panini College platform and product offerings,” said Panini’s senior vice president of marketing, Jayson Howarth at the time. He also signed a deal with Armani Beauty, promoting the Stronger With You (Intensely) cologne, and also got deals with Celsius, Improbable Media, Beats By Dre, and EA Sports.

Milroe is poised to capitalize on that success during the draft, locking in his position as the fourth-best quarterback behind Miami’s Cam Ward, Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders, and Jaxson Dart of Ole Miss. Interested teams include the New York Giants, the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Las Vegas Raiders.
