If I had as much money as he'd made I'd sock it in an index fund and live off the interest for the rest of my life. Hopefully he's invested wisely.

Looks like he's made about $11M total.  Probably not enough to fully retire on, plus I doubt at age 28/29 he's out of career options or interests

The $11M is before taxes which might run 35% to 40% of the gross.  He qualifies for an NFL pension at age 55 plus presumably some Social Security.

Here's a 2013 link to NFL player compensation and benefits info: https://jeffnixonreport.wordpress.com/20...r-the-cba/

He has the luxury of doing what he wants to do instead of just working for a paycheck.  And that Stanford degree is good for the rest of his life.

Geaux Cardinal!
