Former Alabama offensive tackle Jedrick Wills was selected by the Cleveland Browns at No. 10 overall in the 2020 NFL draft, which comes with a hefty contract.
With that selection, Wills is set to earn $19.7 million that includes a signing bonus of $11.9 million.
Wills took to Twitter to post a video of a chain he purchased. It is practically an all-diamond chain with a diamond grizzly bear pendant. There is no mention of a price tag, but assuming everything on it is real it can’t be cheap.

People were quick to jump into the replies to either offer some financial advice for the NFL rookie or come to his defense.
Here’s what they had to say:
I see the NFL still isn't teaching financial literacy to the rookies.

How? He bought jewelry which will appreciate in value! You don’t know how he spends

This disagreement shows both sides of the argument.
Another bankruptcy incoming

Sean believes this chain will lead to Wills’ eventual financial decline.
People who hop on twitter and tell others how they should be spending their own money have an IQ of 5

Jon breaks it down with some math. Assuming it’s value is $50,000, it isn’t much compared to Wills’ full salary.
Just bc they are cheap, doesn’t mean they are good investments

Felix claims a smarter investment would be to purchase local properties. However, Kyletor does not agree with that assessment.
Buy a duplex and stocks hommie

Super Bowl-winning offensive tackle from the Denver Broncos advises Wills to buy a “duplex and stocks.”
It’s not your money
