Okay, so I was really curious about how much NFL waterboys make. It’s one of those jobs you see on the sidelines, but never really think about, right? So, I decided to do some digging.
First, I hit up Google. I just typed in “NFL waterboy salary” and started browsing. I went through a bunch of articles, forums, and even some Reddit threads. You know, the usual spots where people talk about this kind of stuff.
What I found was pretty interesting. It’s not like there’s one set salary for all waterboys. From what I gathered, it seems like a lot of them are actually volunteers, especially at the high school and college levels. Crazy, right?
But for the NFL, it’s a bit different. I saw some numbers floating around, and it looks like they can make something like $35,000 to $55,000 a year. That’s not superstar money, but it’s not bad for getting to be around the game, I guess!
I also learned it’s not just about handing out water. From some of the stuff I read, it seems like they also help with setting up equipment, keeping things organized, and basically doing whatever the team needs to keep things running smoothly during practice and games. Sounds like a busy job!
So, yeah, that’s what my little investigation turned up. It’s not a super clear-cut answer, but it seems like NFL waterboys can make a decent living, while those at lower levels might just be doing it for the love of the game. Pretty cool!
