"I'm so proud to be LOTTO's first NIL athlete and I'm really excited to start this journey with them," Paletta shared with NIL Daily on SI.

They're really nice and as soon as I saw them, I just knew this was the right fit for me." ---- #nil #nameimagelikeness #personalbrand #personalbranding #marketing #soccer #LottoSport #BetterThanYourBest @Lotto Sport US
