METHODOLOGY 3x1tl

The team at OnlineGambling.ca compiled a list of the highest followed NFL players on Instagram. The report includes estimated earnings per post using Hopperhq calculation – they estimate that for every follower on Instagram an influencer is paid 0.0054 cents. For the teams, the top five earning players for each team were combined and an average was found.

Please note, this calculation is an estimate and therefore could be some deviation against these estimations and actual earnings. It is as accurate as possible but please bear this in mind.

Data collected: August 2023
