Looks like Goff is cashing in before even signing his rookie contract.

I'm sure Goff was not the only draftee to be treated to such gifts. Apparently however, he was the only one classy enough to say "thank you".
Go freak yourself Patrick Redford, whoever you are.

It is unlikely that they were "gifts" my friend.
What scares me is Goff's record in college. Come to think of it his record parallels the Rams record of the last several years. What scares me is that this might be RG111 part 2.

Pretty sure the hair treatment for his Mom & Sis, the predraft grooming and likely the MS band were nothing more than trinkets being handed out. I don't for a minute doubt that there will be endorsement opportunities for Goff; good for him! It is even my understanding he has already signed with Nike.
My issue with this whole thing was that this writer took exception to it like Goff is the first to accept such items.

Do you not understand how bad the team was around him? And the fact that he took them from 1-11 as a true freshman, to 8-f and a bowl game win in his 3rd yr? He had little to no running game, a very shaky OL and a defense that seemed to play for opposing teams.

This is just corporate marketing - not endorsements it product placement
The draft is a huge event and you get all sort of companies participating - part of that marketing is to have athletes come through and experience the brands and what they have to offer- it's the same reason why Dell computers hosts the PGA tour or why Levi's jeans sponsors SXSW
It's just marketing and it has nothing to do with Goff learning fast or whatever

I'm sure your right. BTW, I use Tide all the time. Wish I could get them to sponsor my tweets!

Just wondering how the heck you evaluate that. It is pretty black &!white there.
RG111 had a lot of weapons & had great running a little, plus a very good arm. He was excellent on his long balls.
--You can sort of compare RG111 to Kap or even Russell Wilson.They all do it with there legs when things get tough.--RG111 has never been the same after his knee injury.--I blame Mike Shan on that one.-----Maybe you are confusing Carson Wentz to RG111. He is a run first guy.I think a Big Ben is a bad take on Carson.
You want to compare him to Kurt Cousin ok.Maybe a young Drew Bree's.You know thinking about it now.Aaron Rodgers is only 6'2. In Goff he is 6'4.He is a pure passer. End of story.

Don't the agents handle this stuff. "I tweeted this for you, here's $10,000" Oversimplified but good for Goff.........

They did those things for all the players who attended the draft and had family there.

Most likely.
But the news of a high-profile athlete getting corporate sponsors in exchange for promotion when the light is on him? Unheard of! /s
