Athlete | Empire: Chase Griffin

Walk for a bit around UCLA's campus with quarterback Chase Griffin and you'll almost certainly hear him called by his nickname: "President Chase." While he doesn't start, Griffin's garnered a national profile, mostly for his deal-making prowess and his head coach is among those predicting he could hold high office one day, or run a massive company. The former Texas high school standout has inked sponsorships with Degree, LinkedIn, Boost Mobile and others -- about 20 deals to date. His base at UCLA isn't an accident -- Griffin sees himself in the image of UCLA greats and trailblazers like Ashe, Abdul-Jabbar and Joyner-Kersee. For part two of our inside look at how college students are making money under the new name, image and likeness rules, we went to Atlanta and LA to visit with Griffin. Here's Jason Kelly's sit-down with the QB (and future POTUS?).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
