Carson Beck's massive reported NIL figures have Colorado star Travis Hunter reconsidering his decision to declare for the NFL draft.

Beck, who spent four years at Georgia before announcing his transfer to Miami last week, has reportedly earned nearly $10 million in NIL deals over the past year, with the $4 million he's expected to get from the Hurricanes raising that figure significantly.

Hunter was stunned to learn just how much Beck has made.

"How do you get $10 million? Where's my $10 million? How are people getting this much money bro? Hold up, let me go test this out," Hunter joked on The Travis Hunter Show (31:00 mark). "Let me go back. I'm going back to college. Let me see if I can get $100 million. Let me go see if I can win another Heisman, because $10 million, I ain't make that in college. Let me go hit the portal."

While Hunter could probably make NIL history if he decided to enter the transfer portal and stay in college for another season, heading to the NFL will likely end up being the better decision.

He's widely projected to be one of the first players off the board in the draft this year, with Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department slotting him at No. 3 to the New York Giants.

Hunter might not get a massive rookie contract, but if he lives up to all the hype surrounding him, it won't take long for him to get a deal worth far more than one he could get in college.
