NFL

Chris Oladokun saw showers of lucrative contracts that surged his net worth to $500,000, yet he didn’t have any on-field action in the regular season games. Having entered the NFL in 2022, Oladokun didn’t play a single game in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons.

Ahead of the 2024-25 season, he was waived from the Kansas City Chiefs on August 27, 2024, to make room for new joiners like Xavier Worthy, Jaden Hicks, and Carson Steele.

As a part of the Chiefs’ roster, Oladokun won two Super Bowls (LVII and LVIII) alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster, Patrick Mahomes, Isaiah Buggs, and La’Mical Perine.

A native of Florida, Chris saw collegiate football at the South Florida Bulls, Samford Bulldogs, and South Dakota State Jackrabbits before he became the seventh round (241st overall pick) of the 2022 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

He is from the same year draft as Bo Melton (Max Melton‘s older brother).

However, the Steelers waived him ahead of the regular season. So, he signed to the Kansas City Chiefs’ practice squad and later signed a reserve/future contract. However, following the Chiefs’ back-to-back Super Bowl victories, they released him.

Football fans across the nation want to know what he is doing right now and how much he has earned from his NFL career so far. So, in this article, we will explore their net worth, career earnings, and contracts.

Later, he signed a one-year $750K deal with the Kansas City Chiefs for the 2022-23 season and another $805K deal for the 2023-24 season.

Since Oladokun did not play a single regular-season game through those years of his contract, he did not earn the total amount.

Despite that, he has made a decent fortune out of the game and has two Super Bowl rings since he was on the active roster. According to Overthecap, Chris has earned $677,619 in his career.

He has several sponsorships with sports shoes and golf brands like Ghost Golf Club, which earns him a good amount of wealth yearly. Furthermore, he has a decent social media following, which adds to his net worth and overall earnings.

Oladokun currenlty lives in Tampa, Florida. According to Zillow, the average house price in that area is $385,903.

Chris Oladokun Has Had A Short NFL Career So Far

Oladokun started his NFL career in 2022 when the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted him in the seventh round with the 241st overall pick.

However, his playing time there was not as anticipated, as he was released on August 23, 2022. Despite not having the best time in either of his NFL teams, Chris has two Super Bowls.

Oladokun signed a contract to join the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad on August 31, 2022. The Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, and Oladokun won his first Super Bowl. On February 15, 2023, he inked a reserve/future contract with the Chiefs.

After the game, he returned to the practice squad. Oladokun won his second straight Super Bowl when the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.

Oladokun could not make it through and become the starting player because there was much competition in his position, including Patrick Mahomes and Carson Wentz.

Chris Oladokun Comes From A Sports Enthusiast Family

Chris Oladokun was born in Tampa, Florida, on September 3, 1997, to his parents, Henry Oladokun and Jennifer Carter.

Oladokun’s father, Henry, was a former Washington-based Howard Bison men’s basketball player. It seems like his father gave him the athleticism that paved the way for his NFL career. Chris played basketball in school, just like his father, but his goals for his life were different.

The children, including Chris’ younger brother Jordan, a great defensive back at Gaither High School, and his younger sister Kayla, have benefited from their father’s instilled work ethic and athleticism.

With a decent career in College Football and two Super Bowl rings, the 26-year-old still has the potential to offer a lot in the NFL.
