How NFL players Measure Up to Insta Celebs
Whilst OBJ’s numbers aren’t quite as impressive as some of the top followed accounts on Insta -* Dwayne Johnson (aka The Rock)* is the highest earner and makes $1 million through a single sponsored post - he still takes the crown for the highest earning NFL player.
METHODOLOGY
The team at OnlineGambling.ca compiled a list of the highest followed NFL players on Instagram. The report includes estimated earnings per post using eMarketer’s calculation – they estimate that for every follower on Instagram an influencer is paid 0.0041 cents. For the teams, the top five earning players for each team were combined and an average was found.
Please note, this calculation is an estimate and therefore could be some deviation against these estimations and actual earnings. It is as accurate as possible but please bear this in mind.
