The NFL Player Born Into the McDonald’s Potato Fortune

Discover the incredible story of Connor McGovern, the NFL journeyman who grew up in North Dakota’s richest family and is heir to a $500M potato farming empire responsible for McDonald’s French fries, Frito-Lay chips, and more.

Learn how McGovern left behind the lucrative legacy of R.D. Offutt Farms—the largest potato supplier in the U.S.—to carve out his own path in professional football.

From his days as a standout high school athlete to earning $33 million in NFL contracts, McGovern’s journey reveals the clash between a multi-million dollar family business and a passion for sports.

This video dives deep into NFL contracts, the business of farming, and the challenges of building a legacy outside of generational wealth.
