SYD Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Not sure how entirely accurate it is but Ryan is at # 8 and to me it is much deserved. Seeing him in that company and saying "yep that's about right" is a great feeling. Don't really care what the haters think he has been more than worth it and has earned his contract and helped make our Franchise legit contenders each and every year.50 highest paid athletes Edited June 16, 2011 by SYD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year he won't even be in the top 50 probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 What's interesting to me is not who is on the list, but some guys who are not on the list.Drew BreesAaron RodgersPhillip RiversSurprising. Especially Brees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBorBust Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 He makes more endorsement cash than I thought he did. Not as good as every other QB on this list but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 He makes more endorsement cash than I thought he did. Not as good as every other QB on this list but still...Really? I was surprised at how low the number is. Manning makes more than 30 times Ryan and Brady makes more than 20 times Ryan. That surprised me.

That surprised me.It's low, don't get me wrong but I expected it to be lower. If I'm not mistaken, his most visible campaign is as a local Air Tran spokesperson.

DirtyBirdSupabowl Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'm sure the amount of primetime games we are having this season will definitely help Ryan out in his endorsements. I figured it was a lot more with the Gillette commercials, Airlines commercials and him always wearing Nike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tandy Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I am pretty sure I have seen him in some national razor ads, but I couldn't tell you for which razor.I know he has Air Tran (which is arranged by the Falcons), Axe for hair and Gillette, but he doesn't do a lot of endorsements. I remember in an interview he talked about not wanting to have endorsements interfere with his focus on football. He wanted to keep the commitment level manageable.

He's already made more money since 2008 then I will make in my lifetime. Glad his priorites are in order, not as if they were ever in doubt.
