  Alabama coach Nick Saban said Tuesday that sophomore quarterback Bryce Young, the team's presumptive starter in 2021, has already earned close to $1 million in endorsement deals. "Certain positions, probably, enhance opportunities to create value, like quarterback, and our quarterback (Young) already has approached ungodly numbers -- I'm not going to say what they are -- and he hasn't even played yet. Hasn't even started," Saban said at the Texas High School Coaches Association's annual convention on Tuesday, according to The Athletic. "... It's almost seven figures. And it's like, the guy hasn't even played yet. But that's because of our brand."

Young signed with CAA, one of the most powerful agencies representing NFL players, for his marketing deals. As of July 1, college athletes in Alabama and several other states have been legally able to earn revenue from their name, image and likeness. NCAA rules have also loosened to allow professional representation for those deals. "Everything in high school and college football has always been equal for everyone. It's not going to be that way anymore," Saban said Tuesday, according to 247 Sports. "Aaron Rodgers makes $24 million a year and probably several million more in endorsements because he's the quarterback. The right guard probably makes a million a year and he doesn't get anything from endorsements. The same thing is going to happen to our team." Young has one of the largest followings on social media among Alabama players, and has signed deals with companies such as Cash App. - Birmingham News
