Cardinals' top pick Jeremiyah Love explains why he plans to never touch his $53M NFL salary

As NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell called the names of prospects last week, lives were instantly changed in more ways than one.

From a financial perspective, it's a massive payday, especially for those first-rounders. And being smart with the millions of dollars that are guaranteed for those top prospects is preached all around the league.

It's a common question for prospects to answer: what will be their first purchase after the draft? Love, though, had other things in mind, at least with his NFL game checks he'll be getting.

"First thing I might buy with my marketing money is a house for my parents, car for my dad," he explained. "Shoot, I'm gonna put myself last. I'm going to take care of my family first."

It's quite the answer from Love, and after hearing sentiments from coaches and teammates alike, it's something he's been looking forward to doing.

Of course, it's their money to spend now, but being first-rounders usually leads to numerous marketing opportunities with big paydays as well.

These players earned it, and Love is making sure he's being smart with it.
