According to Yahoo News several former and still playing NFL players have gone broke. Steve Young is one that players should look up to not just for his work on the field but for what he did after and during. Young got a degree in Law school while playing in the NFL in the 90’s and is now been practicing his career at a Law firm he is a rare story of success. Player like Marlin Briscoe, Raghib “Rocket” Ismail, Johnny Unitas, Michael Vick, and Deuce McAllister. Michael Vick is still playing so he is coming out of his debt.
Is this a surprise to you? Not to me if you watch NFL player not all but most of them they get their money and spend it like wild fire. I just don’t understand how Deuce has gone broke he spent 10 year in the league and got paid 1 million a year some years more. To me he really needed someone to help him manage his money.
Why is Mike Vick broke? He got in trouble for the Interstate dog fighting that his brother was running for him. Vick is still playing in the league and will recover from the debt because he has served jail time and now know what money is he has a family that he was to take care of.
They can give me all those millions I won’t blow them like that! What about you? The people that don’t have money would treat the money a lot different but I can’t say all some of them would do the same as them. Boy would it be nice!
It's sad to hear about those fortunate players lucky enough to get picked up to play in the NFL squander money. I don't fell sorry for players who aren't happy with what they have and feel the need to get mixed up with drugs, underage girls, and illegal gambling and animal abuse.
