Alright, so I was really curious about how much those NFL mascots make. You know, the guys running around in those giant furry suits, getting the crowd hyped up? I figured it couldn’t be that much, right? Boy, was I wrong.
My Deep Dive into Mascot Money
First, I hit up Google. Just a simple search, “how much does nfl mascot make”. I started scrolling through a bunch of articles and forum posts. Some of the numbers I saw were pretty surprising.

Then, I got a little smarter. I moved to Reddit! You know the guys on Reddit always have information. And I find a lot of real stories.
I spend sometime on it, and finally I got it!
The Results
It turns out, these guys aren’t just goofing around for peanuts. They’re actually making some decent cash! Here is some of the datas I found:
- Average Salary: Seems like the average NFL mascot pulls in around $60,000 a year. Not bad for a “part-time” gig, right?
- Top Earners: But get this, some of the top mascots, the real veterans with a big following, can apparently make upwards of six figures! I’m talking $100,000 or more. Seriously!
So, yeah, that’s the scoop on NFL mascot salaries. It’s way more than I expected! I guess there’s good money in being a giant, energetic, furry creature. Who knew?
