These future NFL prospects are driving in style due to NIL

Reading Time: 4 minutes

First Round Mock’s Victoria Jonach takes a look at what kinds of vehicles future NFL prospects are driving around these days.

The world of NIL (Name, Image and Likeness) deals continues to heat up as athletes form partnerships with apparel companies, video game brands, and more.

Various players have even tried the culinary industry and created personal snacks for fans to enjoy while watching games, parties, and even during the off season.

All of these endorsements are undoubtedly awesome, but most young men just want one item in particular.

Keep reading to see each of these NIL vehicle endorsement deals.

Olu Fashanu, Drew Allar, Abdul Carter & Kalen King – Tesla

These four Nittany Lions are part of this deal with Tesla and Inch & Co., a Pennsylvania-based construction company. Each player received a Tesla Sedan with the company’s logo advertised on the side last December.

In a press release, one of the four athletes’ fathers asked, “So, why are you investing in my son?”

Johnny Inch Jr., an owner of Inch & Co. replied, “We believe in him, and our hope is that one day he will invest back in us.”

Quinn Ewers – Volkswagen & Aston Martin

The quarterback for Texas has taken full advantage of his sponsorship offers. Ewers has united with several brands including local dealership, Vanguard Volkswagen in January of 2023.

This wasn’t Ewers first vehicle endorsement deal. He also worked with Aston Martin as of July 2022.

Jaheim Bell – La Porte Dealership

One year ago, the now former Gamecocks tight end partnered with a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram dealership named La Porte. The dealership gifted the now Florida State Seminole a vehicle in exchange for a promotion on social media.

Jack Sawyer & Marvin Harrison Jr. – Chevrolet

The Ohio State defender and wide receiver united with Mark Wahlberg’s Chevy dealership almost two years ago. Sawyer was riding a Silverado and Harrison was given a Tahoe in exchange for social media posts.
