The signing is slated to be associated with Chipotle’s Real Food for Real Athletes initiative.

Henderson and the Ohio State University offensive linemen are officially the first college football players who have signed NIL deals with Chipotle, the popular Mexican food chain. .

“With one of our Restaurant Support Centers in Columbus’ Arena District and more than 200 locations in Ohio, we have a lot of Buckeye pride at Chipotle,” Chipotle’s chief marketing officer Chris Brandt said in a written statement.

The financial terms of the Chipotle deal were not released.

The Chipotle deal that includes the four offensive linemen also includes Henderson and left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. The six football players took part in a video that two-time Heisman Trophy winner and OSU legend Archie Griffin narrated for the restaurant chain.
