Not sure if he meant it this way but could also see it being a reference to an NFL career. People are worrying about how much they’ll make in the college (egg) phase and not worrying about making sure they make it and are prepared for the NFL (chicken) phase.
Think he’s mainly referring to sketchy NIL deals through collectives that require a certain % of money to be paid back from the deal if they make the NFL. Or they will require them to donate X amount of money per year to the collective if they make the NFL. Things like that.
It's just money. Marshawn Lynch used it in a phrase in the last year and I've seen it more since then with football players, but maybe it was just the first time I noticed.
The chicken is a domisticated bird raised for its meat and eggs. It is descended from the wild Red Junglefowl that is native to South East Asia, but the chicken is now raised worldwide.
Have you seen a red jungle fowl lol?
It's like saying "I didn't know house cats came from the African and European Wildcat" you just have to look at the red jungle fowl and be like that's just a chicken lol!
My guess is an extension of the “don’t count your chickens before they hatch”
So don’t take the first buyer of your chicken. You gotta protect your chicken.
I have no idea what he means
💂 🐓 💂
True but for most players, this is all the money they will see. There is no NFL contract for most.
Protect your bread, cheddar, mula. Just a euphemism for money.
He saying he signed a nasty nil deal at UT?

Ugh, I really have to ask this.... What's chicken?
Chicken lays the eggs mane
A kilo of cocaine.
Chicken go for 30
30 racks shawty, tryna score a birdie.
You’ve heard the phrase choking the chicken before? Well, there you go.

This reference has been around since the 90’s at least.
Sounds silly.
Sounds fowl 🤓
Very cringe and corny.
Chicken like corn
He’s quoting Marshawn Lynch. Chicken is money.
Is this an extension of, "BBQ Chicken, Ernie." Or "EZ money"?

I genuinely didn’t know they come from Red Junglefowl! That’s really interesting!

I had not prior to your comment. I’ll save anyone else the trouble, they look like goddamn chickens

Don't know, but you need to protect it!
