He earned approx. $11 million during his playing career. Its quite sad he needed to go back to work in construction when his NFL career ended.
It is sad, honestly. I don’t know what the current percentage is, but I remember a number being thrown around in years past indicating more than 70% of NFL players are broke within two years of retirement.
What happened to all the millions he earned in the NFL?
It’s a disgrace that the NFL does not require all players to employ the services of competent money managers.
