Jalen Milroe thanks parents for teaching him how to handle money, NIL opportunities
College kids handling millions of dollars can get complicated quick. But that’s the world of NIL and college sports, where quarterbacks of major college football programs rake in several million dollars. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe is thankful for his parents teaching him how to handle money growing up.
A few days ago, he made an appearance on The Pivot podcast with Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor. The Alabama star quarterback thanked his parents for helping him handle money and NIL opportunities.

“I gotta credit my parents because there was nothing I wanted growing up. Everything was provided for me. I had clothes. I had everything I wanted to growing up. So therefore when it came to having money now in college. I ain’t know what to do with it. Because I had everything I needed growing up. I had great parents,” Milroe explained.
“I didn’t lack anything growing up and I embrace that and I’m appreciative of that. I’m always forever thankful for how they paved the way for me. Because at the end of the day, when it’s time for me to provide for my own family one day, it’s gonna come at the reflection of my parents and how they provide for me,” Milroe continued.

“And so, to answer your question, of course not. It’s a new dynamic to NIL and how you can benefit from yourself. And I have definitely benefitted from NIL. I’m truly appreciative now that players are able to now benefit with ya’ll paving the way,” the Alabama quarterback laughed.
“But I am blessed to be in the situation that I am today. But I could just say that I don’t have a worry in the world just based off my parents and just them taking care of me growing up,” Milroe finished.
