Ahead of this week’s NFL Draft, the top players in the class are signing their endorsement deals.
On Monday, it was announced that three former SEC players were signing with Adidas — Alabama DB Minkah Fitzpatrick, Georgia RB Sony Michel and Texas A&M WR Christian Kirk.
ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell shared the news on Twitter on Monday afternoon:

All three could be first-round picks, but Fitzpatrick is likely the only lock to go on Day 1 of those three SEC players.
Adidas also landed Bradley Chubb, Derwin James and Courtland Sutton, according to Rovell’s tweet. What sort of deals the players landed wasn’t disclosed, but landing with such a big brand is great news for all the former college stars.
