Carolina Panthers · QB
Pasadena, California native who starred at Mater Dei, won the 2021 Heisman Trophy at Alabama and went first overall to Carolina in 2023. As a Crimson Tide NIL star he signed with Logan's Roadhouse, calling its eight-ounce filet his favorite and promising to treat his offensive line, and his Subway deal produced a sandwich called The Tuscaloosa. He dined with the Panthers' brass at Evangeline's the night before his Pro Day and worked a Raising Cane's drive-thru before the draft. In Charlotte he has a multi-year Bojangles deal and waited tables at his foundation's 2025 Sneaker Ball at Fahrenheit; Philadelphia-born, his family swears by Dalessandro's.
