Right from the players who toil hard every season, to the cheerleaders and mascots who practice relentlessly to make our viewing experience better, everyone gets to take home a nice cheque at the end of the day. Of course, the amount varies from person to person as well as from profession to profession.

Absolutely staggering numbers. However, as far as the team mascots are concerned, they don’t earn nearly as much as many fans seem to think.  Currently, 27 teams in the NFL have official mascots where 4 still don’t have any. Among those 4, we also have Green Bay Packers, the first ever team that won the Super Bowl, way back in 1967.

If we talk about the most famous mascots in the league, Indianapolis Colts’ “Blue” has quite a substantial following on social media. Moreover, Jacksonville Jaguars’ Jax de Ville is also famous for his crazy antics.

Talking the money that an average NFL mascots makes, as per NBC Sports, a mascots takes home roughly $60,000 every year. One has to admit that the mascots do make the viewing experience better as they play a major role in fueling energy into their audiences and riling up rival fans.
