His rookie contract was like $3 mil with a $700k signing bonus, so I'm not buying that he did reality TV because he was broke. I don't dislike him or think he's a "dumb jock," but come on.
Yes, he's on record (years ago) as saying he was incredibly dumb with his money. He fully admits it. He himself was calling himself a dumb jock for all intents and purposes. He also missed his entire first year due to injury and it was not a good year for him. So when he was approached by E! he thought it would be a good opportunity to get some cash flow that he needed. I think it's true because it doesn't exactly paint him in a good light.
I was a skeptical one upthread and find what you added to make the story more believable.
Travis has a good point about being dumb with money. I remember reading that a lot NFL players waste their money and can end up broke quickly if they aren’t careful. It’s a lot of money to get in a short period of time when one is young and still maturing.
Good for him if this is true and he was so open and honest about it.
