Another NIL triumph for Stetson Bennett…
Bennett signed a deal recently to represent Shuman Farms, a major producer of sweet onions — the Vidalia variety, in particular — in South Georgia. It’s one of the first agricultural partnerships in the country in the rapidly expanding world of NIL deals, according to Bennett’s agent, Dan Everett of ESM.
Bennett, star of Georgia’s 2021 national championship team, is thought to be one of the top-paid players in college football because of his many NIL relationships. This latest deal is thought to have taken him over a $1 million in endorsements. On3.com, which tracks NIL, currently lists Bennett as having brokered $963,000 in deals through ESM.
We’ve come a long way from AJ Green, that’s for sure.
The ad’s punchline is all you need to watch.
Tasty!

This is what NIL should be all about.
Can you imagine how much in endorsements Hot Rod would have rung up while in Athens?

I agree. I bought my family shirts from “Breaking T” featuring Bowers, Washington x 2 and Chris Smith with the goal that they will get some of the money.
Pollack would have made millions were this a thing when he was here so too would a lot of guys who never made the big money in the pros.

People, including sports broadcasters like Finebaum, wondered why Stetson would come back for another season.
He is smarter than the average bear 🐻.

I missed it the first time and wondered why it would be POTD when we’ve seen “Honky McFailson” a lot by now.

Hmmm. The thought just occurred to me that I could go online and by a custom #13 UGA jersey, and put the name “McFailson” on the back…..

Jared, the problem is you would get so many questions from people not as connected that you would grow tired of it quickly.

Unfortunately, I think you are correct. I think most people would think I’m referring to the honorable-wonderful-most-bestest QB of my lifetime (born 1983) as a “failure”.
