Darren McFadden should have made this list, but sadly he always seemed to find a way to not make it to the top. Wild story. Flemlo does a great breakdown of his struggles.
Well, I suppose if I had 200 million & someone said I lost a bunch & now I only had 100 million, my first thought would probably be, “Holy crap, that’s FAR LESS!”
I love Tark, I remember going by his house in Athens and just imagining how awesome it would've been to watch him in the glory days and not just the tape.
After he retired John Stallworth founded a tech company that he eventually sold for over 100 million. I'm sure he might show up on a Top 20 NFL list, depending on how he invested his money.
Roger Staubach made small money compared to today. After he retired he went into commercial real estate and owns a large firm headquartered in Dallas. He's a billionaire.
9:51 Bur-Ming-Ham is in Alabama. Birmingham City play in Bur-Ming-Am, which is in the West Midlands region of England. If you can get Wrexham right, you can manage this.
You start off being kinda' pissed at him for lying until you realize he actually used that word correctly and it's the rest of us idiots that haven't been. Is there a better way to fix that than sitting in the dark for 3 days? Not even I want to spend that much alone time with me...
11:28 Big brain guess is that longevity in the NFL is so short that most players, even superstars, don't have the opportunity to play long enough to reach the billion milestone
Compare the capacity of an NBA roster to an NFL roster, and then think about the expenses that come with being in a brutal contact sport like the NFL in comparison to the NBA. I don't think it's surprising the NFL hasn't had a billionaire athlete up until this point.
@@jasonallen3678 I think though the NBA also just has an easier time marketing the players because the play styles are more apparent to the average viewer. The only players in the NFL that the average viewer can tell the play styles apart from one another is really with the QB position and that is really only with knowing if they're mobile or not. So much of the NFL is about making smart intuitive reads that if you're not an NFL player who dedicated their life to understanding the game, your average viewer is not going to notice. However it doesn't take a genius to understand that Steph Curry can drop dimes, Nikola Jokic's passes are magical, or Michael Jordan could jump hella high. Plus with Basketball shoes just being a popular commodity the endorsement deals write themselves.
@@PADRII well if you guys keeping score Joe Montana started it Peyton Manning was great at it but Tom Brady wrote the book on how valuable an elite QB was for a team to win super bowl.
Roger is worth way way way more. He dumped his profits from his massive building empire into stocks and rung the bell multiple times. He also retains many properties.
Jerry Richardson was wide receiver in the nfl or flanker more specifically. Not that it really matters since he only had 15 receptions for 171 yards and 4 TDs in his entire 2 year career
Honestly expected it to be someone like Jack Kemp, then I started wondering if Dwayne Johnson ever played in the NFL. Turns out the Rock was briefly on the roster for the Calgary Stampeders in the CFL, but I can't tell if he even played a snap for them.
Not sure if its been done seems similar to this but a video about players who reinvented themselves post careers not necessarily the richest but the most interesting ventures players have undertook after a serious NFL career
Roger Staubach retired in 1981. I remember because my sister sent me a sympathy card. He completed his last pass to Herb Scott in a playoff game against the Rams in January 1981. The Cowboys should have won that game.
What about Alvin Kamara's dinky little 3 game suspension. Kamara and his gang beat someone senseless in Las Vegas, breaking bones in his face because he simply wanted to get on the elevator with everyone else. It should have been a 6 game suspension minimum.
Damn, this kinda proves that, compared to other sports, this is just above mma in terms of how much money they get, compared to the amount of damage their body takes doing said job. Sorry if that didn't make much sense 😅
Rodgers being worth 200 million raises so many red flags. The mannings have done more and do more endorsements so it's just hard to belive he is worth that much..
When you said I'd never guess #1 overall I immediately went to Kim McQuilken, after Jon Bois and Alex Rubenstein described everything he was so good at AFTER having a terrible career as a football player. But I guess a slimy owner being a former player works too.
When I saw the title of this video I immediately thought of Steve Young because I remember him signing with the Los Angeles Express of the USFL for 59 million dollars. I don't recall how long his contract was for. Even so, since the USFL only lasted 3 years I believe that he probably made enough money...coupled with his NFL money...coupled with his commentating money...coupled with his BYU law degree smarts...to give him a sizable nest egg.
It's good to see some of these NFL guys invest their money in things and don't squander their wealth and wanna blame other people. I'm looking at you Michael Ohr.
didnt mention how patrick owns part of a luxury air share company and a percent of the Kansas City Royals, as his wife co-owns the professional womans soccer team Kansas City Current and secured funding to build their riverfront stadium all 100% private
Someone needs to tell Payton Manning he retired years ago and to get off our TV sets! This guy will hock ANYTHING if you dangle enough money in front of him.
Other player who went high places in business was Ron Miller. He played Wide Receiver for the Rams for a year then his father-in-law, Walt Disney, decided he didn’t like seeing him get hit by Night-train Lane tackle him so Ron Miller got hired by Disney. Ron would later become the head of Disney in its “dark age’” but a lot of the programs he started, Touchstone Studios and more TV programming was used extensively by his replacement Mike Eisner. So Ron Miller wasn’t the total failure that he’s sometimes portrayed as.
There is a reason NBA/PGA have produced billionaire players unlike the NFL. MJ, LeBron and Tiger are GLOBAL sports icons with endorsements deals internationally + modern era super stars in the NBA get paid more than even the best paid QB's in the NFL. NFL players are nobodies outside the US, only known by fans from an internationally niche sport. Brady is probably even also more known as the ex of Gisele than as an athlete himself, similar to Russ with Ciara. The only reason they even manage to make this amount of money, is because the US being as big and rich as it is.
Can’t believe Mahomes didn’t make a list. He has multiple deals with shoes sunglasses Hy-Vee Walmart, Subway and he has a plane there were uses the in time he wants.
You can tell me that Dennys uses the dirty mop water to clean the plates and pans, and I still would have ate there. When you are drunk, you just don't give af about details like that.
The real reason so many QBs don't want to do Quarterbacks Season 2, they don't want to show that they ain't as rich as people think
They’re just humble that’s all
Can’t believe Ryan Fitzpatrick is the highest paid ever! Crazy!

Close second, obviously.

You get a like just for the Fran Tarkenton intro. "The last time the Vikings had hope"
Darren McFadden should have made this list, but sadly he always seemed to find a way to not make it to the top. Wild story. Flemlo does a great breakdown of his struggles.
Made a lot ? Yes. Been a top 10 highest paid player? Probably not
He’s not even close to this list
Giselles 400m is “far less” than Brady’s 300m? Brandon, huh?
Maybe a joke about a divorce court judge saying that?
Well, I suppose if I had 200 million & someone said I lost a bunch & now I only had 100 million, my first thought would probably be, “Holy crap, that’s FAR LESS!”
100M is a lot
Brady according to forbes is worth about 530 million...prenup no alimony or child support since they share full custody
I love Tark, I remember going by his house in Athens and just imagining how awesome it would've been to watch him in the glory days and not just the tape.
I can’t believe Vince Young is #1 😂
After he retired John Stallworth founded a tech company that he eventually sold for over 100 million. I'm sure he might show up on a Top 20 NFL list, depending on how he invested his money.
Sometimes I forget that Eli and Peyton have the same number of Superbowl rings
Can't believe Johnny manziel is the richest player ever ..
🥴
Roger Staubach made small money compared to today. After he retired he went into commercial real estate and owns a large firm headquartered in Dallas. He's a billionaire.
I bet it’s the guy in the 70’s who bought a fast food chain franchise
Time stamp was 12 seconds
Fran Tarkenton threaded the perfect needle between being an old salty dude, he was, and a genuinely positive person.
I’m shocked Terry Bradshaw didn’t make the list. Homeboy needs to stop gambling apparently.
Divorces suck you dry.
Great segment! Informative and entertaining. That's what you're best at.
9:51 Bur-Ming-Ham is in Alabama. Birmingham City play in Bur-Ming-Am, which is in the West Midlands region of England. If you can get Wrexham right, you can manage this.
It's my considered opinion that England should stop naming cities after cuts of pork
Immunized 😂😂😂😂😂

Imagine thinking you’re immunized from Covid after an mrna shot
Rodgers got Covid and has natural (real) immunity from it
New qb contracts and nba contracts are basically top richest players in the NFL.

The NFL makes 3 times as much money than the nba,so your point is kinda moot,but not all the way..

I was expecting Lawrence Taylor‘s crack dealer to be on the list.
You should do an episode on what nfl player did the best commercial
Jerry Richardson better be on the list, despite Blue Jean Fridays.
Edit - Nice. #1 makes sense. Good work.
When Brandon said "I guarantee it's not who you think" I was like "wait it's not Jerry Richardson?"
You meant Gisele has far more, not far less.. tighten up Brando
Right, but none of us are perfect..
Brady probably gave up about $300 million in salary over his 20 years in the NFL, in order to use that money to get a better team.
I'm guessing the richest dude post career is the guy who invented the NERF football. Let's see if I'm right.
Peyton Manning deserves to be the highest earner in the league for what he's done for the game. Changed the QB position forever pre snap.
You spelled Tom Brady wrong buddy
@@thenewage9723 No, he's right. Brady may have done it better, but Peyton was the first to show how a QB can really run the show.
@@thenewage9723Tom Brady didn’t change anything
@@PADRII well if you guys keeping score Joe Montana started it Peyton Manning was great at it but Tom Brady wrote the book on how valuable an elite QB was for a team to win super bowl.
Mikerphone just mentioned mahomes is criminally underpaid too. Patrick had press conference confirming it, saying it helps team get best players
Elway probably made more on his Car Dealership than he did in the NFL.
Roger is worth way way way more. He dumped his profits from his massive building empire into stocks and rung the bell multiple times. He also retains many properties.
Im surprised Troy aikman isn’t on there. He invested in a ton of stuff and gets paid bank to call games.
I literally subscribed to your channel after about 3 minutes into the video. Love the humor u put in the video. Cheers from Florida
Ryan Leaf? Never would have guessed that.
Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great overview, loved your jokes amazing numbers for sure!!!
Trent Dilfer at #4, crazy...
Honestly, when you started off the video with “ have you ever subscribed to a channel drunk”
I am now a subscriber.
According to Steve Youngs book, he never received any money in the usfl.
The reason why josh freeman is the richest player in nfl history is because of all the MySpace stock he owns.
Absolutely love this channel. Brandon is a charasmatic host and knows his stuff.
That Eli manning picture 😂
I think arthur smith might be the richest non-owner in the nfl with that fedex $$.
No way pat isn't over a 100 million already. That dudes made so much money from endorsements and sponsors on top of his contract
Jerry Richardson was wide receiver in the nfl or flanker more specifically. Not that it really matters since he only had 15 receptions for 171 yards and 4 TDs in his entire 2 year career

Including off field revenue, it’s gotta be Brady in the next 5 years
Not sure if its been done seems similar to this but a video about players who reinvented themselves post careers not necessarily the richest but the most interesting ventures players have undertook after a serious NFL career
I actually did know who would be #1....mostly because 5 Points had already mentioned it
Great stuff!!
Brandon “ I can’t believe Fran 300x his money” Perna
Kinda surprising to see Evan Engram on the list
Where’s Antonio Brown? I was told he had a whole lotta money. 😂
He's a real renegade
Man, you got to see a good one today. Full contact wasn't it?
What about Al Davis?

That Denny’s clip is the reason I only get my midnight breakfast foods at Waffle House

What about Alvin Kamara's dinky little 3 game suspension.
Kamara and his gang beat someone senseless in Las Vegas, breaking bones in his face because he simply wanted to get on the elevator with everyone else.
It should have been a 6 game suspension minimum.
He should do a Law & Order video about the suspensions those guys got.
How is Giselle's $400 million fortune worth "far less" than Brady's fortune of $250-300 mil? You might want to re-record that part.
Also Mahomes already owns the broncos Brandon and all he had to give up is his left nipple, which is fine he has 6.
I swear to god Fran Tarkonton was a time traveler.
I can’t believe you only have 400k subs. What is wrong with people?

Ryan Gosling or Garrett Hedlin could play Fran Tarkenton in a movie
Elway turning $45 million into $145 million is actually some pretty shit investing. He retired 25 years ago. That return is well below the market.
