With Ojo signing a 3-year, $5.1 million contract with Texas Tech, this got me wondering how much other players in the past could have earned? For example, my team Texas Longhorns would have made the following contracts:

  • Vince Young: 3 year, $13.5 million
  • Ricky Williams: 4 year, $7 million
  • Earl Campbell: 4 year, $8 million

Using the player’s actual time playing College Football and today’s dollar playing in their time (eg RBs were more valuable in 70s versus QBs now)
