During their heydays at Oklahoma and Clemson, respectively, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence were college football royalty.
Murray won the Heisman Trophy. Lawrence won a national title. Both were No. 1 overall picks, cashing in on the riches of the NFL in the process. Murray's rookie deal was worth $35.5 million in 2019, which included a $23.6 million signing bonus. Two years later, when he was the top pick this past April, Lawrence's deal was worth a bit more, $36.8 million over four years with a $24.
