Jared Goff ranks No. 15 on Forbes Top 100 highest-paid athletes for 2020

The friendly folks over at Forbes reminded us that athletes are superior in more ways than their athletic prowess, and once again showed us how much money those top-earning athletes in the world made over the past 365 days. With their annual release of the top 100 highest-paid athletes in the world, the famed magazine released digital profiles on all 100 athletes that included a breakdown of where their funds came from.

Cracking that list at No. 15 overall was former California Golden Bears QB and current Los Angeles Rams standout Jared Goff. Earning a reported $49M from June to June, Goff’s earnings were said to come from $47M in his salary/winnings and another $2M from endorsements.

Goff’s current deal with the Rams, signed in 2019, is for four years at $134M including a $25M signing bonus and a $21 million roster bonus. He also is stated to earn $2M from sponsorship deals with brands like Pizza Hut, Red Bull, Bose, BMW, Banana Republic and, of course, Nike.

He even launched a clothing line in 2019 titled “JG16”, selling t-shirts, hoodies and hats.

Goff is no stranger to goodwill, either. He donated $250,000 to the L.A. Food Bank, covering upwards of one million meals for people in need during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The former Cal standout QB ranks 15th overall, third among NFL players and third among quarterbacks. He ranks second among LA-based athletes, falling behind Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James (5th — $88.2M).
