The era of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) in college football has produced some absolutely wild amounts of money being thrown around by college football programs, and the two main schools in the state of Alabama are certainly no exceptions.

As two of the wealthiest programs in the nation, both Alabama and Auburn have been known to bid giant sums of money for players.

But there may be no greater example right now than Crimson Tide star wide receiver Ryan Williams.

According to a new report from On3, Williams is set to make more than $1.8 million this season, making him the second-highest paid wide receiver in college football behind only Ohio State Buckeyes superstar Jeremiah Smith.

Williams missed last weekend’s game with a concussion he suffered against Florida State during what was an ugly first game for his second season, however he will look to get back on the field this week and prove why he’s as much of a household name as he is/

In the same report, fellow Auburn sophomore pass catcher Cam Coleman is also making more than $1 million to score touchdowns on The Plains.

The Phenix City native has not had a touchdown yet this year, but his eight catches and 100 yards through two games with one of them being an extremely run-heavy game plan against Baylor is a nice start.

With players making more than they ever have right now, the spotlight on them is as big as it has ever been. Whether or not Williams and Coleman are up to the task remains to be seen, but either way, both stars have cashed in.
