An amazing receiver in NFL history was Andre Rison who assembled 1,000 yards within five separate seasons throughout his career. Although his hands could handle a football, they couldn’t do the same for money. While he brought home a whopping $20 million while he played, he ended up in severe financial problems, one of which was being on probation for owing $3000,000 in child support.

Back in 2004, Clinton Portis signed the biggest contract ever for a running back, totaling $50.5 million. Unfortunately, things took a turn when he retired in 2010 after he put his trust in a team of suspicious financial advisers, who he accused of lying and defrauding him. He admitted later on that he was intent on stalking and killing him, but didn’t because of his children. In total, he lost nearly $43.1 million of his total profits.
