The LSU Tigers athlete gained popularity on social media, enhancing her influencer status to earn a seven-figure paycheck. After the 2023 SI swimsuit photoshoot, the 20-year-old soared to prominence and continued to make her way to the screen.

Payton responded with a confused “Sure.” “Really?” Dunne inquired, and then he shrugged, “No.” You guys know a lot about playing quarterback, she continued. After pausing, she said, “Well, I can give viewers insight on things you don’t know about like being athletic,” without hesitation.
