I feel like the timing could have been better, but there was still something great here.
Cam WardThe Miami Hurricanes quarterback learned how to be a true QB. Take care of your offensive line, and they’ll take care of you. And that’s exactly what he did recently, giving them custom diamond chains and pendants as gifts.

It’s nothing new for quarterbacks (and running backs for that matter) to give expensive gifts to the offensive line. But as we all know, such things have been the exclusive domain of the big money makers of the National Football League. However, these days, student-athletes are starting to earn their own money, and we’re starting to see initiatives like this at the collegiate level as well.
Although the exact details of Mr. Ward’s income are not 100% known, we do know that he is compensated considering NIL’s valuation of $2.1 million. That’s the eighth-highest rating among both college and high school athletes, according to . on 3. The ward also has Recommendation Partnered with EA Sports, Adidas, and Bose.

I’m just saying the timing is a little off here considering the Georgia Tech defender got on Cam Ward’s butt in the most recent game against Miami. But still, a nice gift.
