How much do UFL football players get paid? UFL football player breaks down the paycheck
Drue Chrisman the former Ohio State punter is an interesting player, but he is entertaining. He recently broke down his paychecks from the UFL and the NFL practice squad and he will eventually break down his check from the NFL active roster.
This is cool to see because many people ask the question to us on social media. They want to know how much the UFL players are getting paid, so Drue made this video. It is a great breakdown.
“I made this video because I had a lot of people asking me, ‘What’s the biggest difference between the NFL and the UFL?’ It’s the pay, obviously,” he said. “I’m not saying it’s bad money by any means, but you’re not making millions of dollars like the guys in the NFL.
“On top of that, it doesn’t matter if you’re the QB or the punter, everybody gets paid the same.”
So how did the UFL compare to the NFL practice squad?
The UFL players are paid 5500 dollars a week, and in this video Drue is given a stipend and a credit for 55 dollars on a reimbursement, but he still walked away making 4,537.84.
It is a good paycheck making more than 18k a month to play in the UFL!
