Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has launched an NFT campaign with Metabillia that will pay him a total of $1 million, Yahoo Finance has learned. As a result, the 19-year-old’s total compensation through name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals is now approaching the $4 million mark. The average NIL quarterback sponsorship pays the athlete $2,466 per deal, according to Opendorse. Ewers’s $1 million sponsorship is broken into 12 payments of various amounts well above the average on top of 50% revenue… Source link

Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon chastised the “independent study” clause initially included in Kyler Murray’s contract extension with the Arizona Cardinals, chastising the language as a “slap in the face to all African-American quarterbacks.” Moon made the comment to TMZ for a story published on Sunday while discussing Murray’s $230 million extension that makes him the second-highest paid player in the NFL by annual salary. When Murray signed the deal last week, a clause in the contract… Source link

Quarterback play largely dictates NFL games. As such, teams are looking for people who can build and sustain a positive culture, especially at that position. That’s why there has been such a recent rush to hire offensive coordinators and assistants for head coaching jobs. Since 2016, 32 men have been hired as head coaches. Of those 32, 24 were offensive coordinators at some point in their careers. And of those 24, 19 were once quarterbacks coaches. The NFL’s failure to successfully… Source link

The 2021 NFL draft appears strong at the top at quarterback, even with a few unusual and potentially tricky evaluations in the group. There could be as many as four top-10 picks, and possibly a fifth first-rounder, giving it a similar feel to the 2018 NFL draft, when Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Allen and Josh Rosen landed in the top 10 and Lamar Jackson was the final pick of Round 1. The difference might be at the top. Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence isn’t a can’t-miss prospect —… Source link

The Guardian Steve Dalkowski: the life and mystery of baseball’s flame-throwing what-if Many believe the lefthander was the fastest pitcher to ever take the mound. But his career – and life – went off the rails before he could make an impactSteve Dalkowski, a career minor-leaguer who very well could have been the fastest (and wildest) pitcher in baseball history, died in April at the age of 80 from complications from Covid-19. And yet, partly because of one missing detail, his legend lives… Source link

The Telegraph What happened to Jordan Spieth? How golf’s next big thing descended into paralysis by analysis “Go get that,” Jordan Spieth shouted, ordering his caddie, Michael Greller, to pick up the ball that had just dived into the cup from 48 feet. It was a display of such prodigious nerve, or “moxie” as his fellow Texans might call it, that his three-word instruction on Royal Birkdale’s 15th green would soon be emblazoned on his fans’ baseball caps, marking the moment he… Source link

For a while, it seemed like Russell Wilson and the Seahawks could do no wrong. [Week 8 Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | DST | Kickers] They were undefeated and Wilson was playing at perhaps the highest level of his career. But then, a bit of a stumble occurred during the ‘Hawks loss against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Wilson threw three interceptions — one of which was nearly returned for a touchdown if not for DK Metcalf’s inhuman heroics. Should we… Source link
