Per Spotrac, Hunter is projected to sign a four-year, $46.5 million contract with the Jaguars after being drafted with the second overall pick.

As a result of being a first-round pick, he would be eligible for a fifth-year option, which is going to be intriguing as he plays two positions, so he could be valued differently than most.

His four-year projected deal would have an average annual value of more than $11.6 million per season. In terms of his net worth, Hunter is estimated to be worth $6 million as of February 2025.

With an incredible combined follower count of 3.6 million across Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and TikTok, the Heisman Trophy winner has the ability to reach a wide array of fans with his social media presence.

Now, after being the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and one of the most unique draft prospects of all-time given his two-way talents, expect to see his net worth continue to increase in the coming years as more companies will look to partner with him going forward.
