Okay, so I got curious about Tyreek Hill the other day. You see him everywhere, fast as anything on the field, right? Made me wonder, besides his massive Dolphins contract, what else is he pulling in? Like, what companies are backing him? So, I decided to do a little digging myself.
Starting the Search
First thing I did was just pop his name and “endorsements” into a search engine. You know, the usual stuff. A lot popped up about his contract, especially that huge deal he got after moving to Miami from the Chiefs. It’s kinda wild when you compare it.
I remember reading his first deal with the Chiefs was something like, what, four years for around $2.5 million? Peanuts compared to now. Then boom, he gets traded to the Dolphins, and suddenly it’s this $120 million, four-year extension. They even restructured it later to guarantee even more money upfront, something crazy like over $100 million guaranteed. That move from KC wasn’t exactly quiet, seemed like there was some serious back-and-forth with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, and the Chiefs about the contract before the trade happened.
Finding the Actual Deals
Alright, back to the endorsements. After sifting through the contract news, I started seeing some company names pop up consistently linked to him. Here’s what I found:
- Adidas: This one makes sense. Big sportswear company, fastest guy in the league. Seems like a natural fit.
- AutoNation: Saw this mentioned too. Car dealership chain, I think? Interesting choice, maybe a local Florida thing since he’s with the Dolphins.
- Grip Boost Inc.: This one caught my eye.
The Grip Boost Thing
So, Grip Boost wasn’t just a typical “wear our stuff” deal from what I could gather. It seems like Hill actually has a stake in the company. They make football gloves and that grip gel stuff players use. He even apparently designed his own signature glove with them. That’s pretty cool, actually. More involved than just getting a check to show up in an ad. It feels like he’s actually part of that business a bit.
So yeah, that was my little dive into Tyreek Hill’s side deals. Started just being curious about who sponsors the ‘Cheetah’ and ended up finding out about the big contract jump, the agent maneuvering, and that he’s even got a piece of a company making gear he probably uses. Always interesting to see what these top athletes have going on off the field.
