Jalen Milroe's latest NIL deal is his childhood dream come true

Amid all the mid-season hustle and pressure for the NFL , Jalen Milroe has hit the jackpot with his most recent NIL signing. On October 17, the Bama QB signed a deal with Panini America, the home to trading cards of the top college football players.

But the Bama QB is more thrilled that his childhood dream is coming to life. Milroe confessed to always wanting his "own trading card," which now is now possible. "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 per On3.

Panini America showed similar excitement to have the Bama QB on board. "Jalen is one of the premier players in college football and is another outstanding addition to our family of athletes," Panini’s senior vice president of marketing Jason Howarth said, via On3. "He will be a great partner for us as we continue to grow our Panini College platform and product offerings."

Currently, Milroe's NIL valuation is $2.5 million according to On3 , the 4th highest in college football. Other than Panini, top brands like Celsius, Beats By Dr. Dre, and EA Sports have also endorsed him.

Panini America has also endorsed Arch Manning

Panini America boasts Texas QB Arch Manning as one of their endorsements in a multi-year partnership.

The heir of the Manning family scored a mega-deal with Panini right in his freshman year when he hadn't appeared in a single game.

This, and Manning's other NIL deals have boosted his NIL valuation to a whopping $3.1 million already, the third-highest in college football.
