who got carried away jamarcus russell came to the nfl signing a contract worth around of 70 million dollars but it wasn't even about for him, the money was about the cheeseburgers. Jamarcus was a star athlete in high school and college, where he became a legendary quarterback at LSU. He improved each year throwing for over 6,000 yards and 52 touchdowns, but the 2007 Sugar Bowl game is where Jamarcus left off. the world knows he belonged in the nfl that game jamarcus threw and ran for over 350 yards scored three touchdowns and was named most valuable player for the win and there was one person watching in that crowd who mattered more than anyone else, the owner of the oakland raiders, al davis, saw what Jamarcus did to him and wanted to draft him number one, so he did, but as soon as Jamarcus got to the NFL, all the problems arose, he refused to study or practice unless he got paid the contract he wanted, so the Raiders rearranged the deal and gave him. $68 million, you would think would be enough money to make a living playing the sport he loves, but when Jamarcus joined the team he was unprepared for games and looked out of shape on the field, the man weighed 185 pounds in the high school. but in just a couple of years he gained another 80 and climbed to 265 at just six feet six inches.

This guy is a professional athlete with a BMI of 30.6 and is clinically obese, but that wasn't even the worst part of Jamarcus' problems on Tuesdays. The team studied their opponents and prepared for the next game and Jamarcus always skipped those days, so the staff tried everything, they even made DVDs of the game plans for Jamarcus to watch at home, but they still never saw it. ready to play, so the coaches sent him a blank message. DVD to see if he noticed and the next time they saw it he said the game plan looked good. Something had to be done, so his teammates came to Jamarcus' house to watch a movie with him and that's when they discovered his secret addiction.

They would make them bring 10 cheeseburgers from Wendy's as a bribe to see the movie and when the organization figured out that it all made sense, they simply paid a 300 pound man tens of millions just so he could eat his way out of the league and released Jamarcus . And he finished his career with more interceptions than touchdowns fast forward a few years later and tried to return to the NFL, but would you like to have someone on your team who ate his way out of the league, not as well nor anyone else, but at least Jamarcus right?

You won't end up millions in debt like this next NFL player. Imagine going from a $60 million contract adorned with the cover of Madden to being $1.5 million in debt. That's exactly what happened to Vince Young. It all started when Vince was drafted into the NFL. In 2006, with the number three pick, he signed a $25 million contract before ever stepping onto the professional field, but Vince became one of the biggest college busts of all time. Vince was setting records by being the first player to pass for 3,000 yards. and rush for a thousand yards in a single season, just think about this, lamar jackson didn't even do that this year and he is the fastest player in nfl history and a face of the league, but even though vince was a legend in college once he achieved When he got to the NFL, he realized that it was much more difficult to be in this league in his third season.

He was nothing more than an average quarterback, in fact, he threw more interceptions than touchdowns during his six years in the NFL, so he lost his love for the game. and he retired in 2011. but hey, at least he left with 60 million dollars, you saved it and got enough for a lifetime, even for your son's life, but vince young had different plans for his retirement, he decided to spend it all your money on your cheesecake. Factory addiction Vince spent 5,000 a week at the restaurant. One employee said he spent 15,000 in one night, but that's where he started the reckless spending.

One day Vince decided he wanted some silence while he flew across the country, so we bought all the seats. on a flight to the southwest to be alone spending about 20 thousand dollars on a single flight vince thought he was invincible a birthday party worth 300,000 ferraris he was buying alcohol for every hot girl he saw, but one day vince got a call from telling his financial advisor he was broke, this guy went from $60 million to negative $1.5 million in literally three years, so Vince was forced to file for bankruptcy. Things were so bad that selling all of his old assets wasn't enough to cover his debt, so he eventually returned. to school he went into rehab and hit the reset button on his life, that's hard, but it could be worse, I mean at least Vince didn't become one of the most hated NFL

players

like the next guy, until Today, no one can really explain what happened.

Some blame Antonio Brown on his ego, others think that madness and a curse had something to do with it, but in any case, Ab let himself go during his first years in the NFL, accumulating more than 11,000 yards and almost 80 touchdowns. He had 100 receptions and six consecutive seasons the longest streak in NFL history Antonio felt unstoppable and with that he became the second highest paid wide receiver earning 17 million per season, it is not surprising that his ego grew so much that he began to feel that he was the organization, not the team, and he began to get stronger. with people in the locker room caught broadcasting his teammates attacking other nfl players and partying non-stop, he eventually demanded a trade from the Steelers, so they traded him to the Raiders and then once he arrived in Oakland, The problems only got worse, it literally appeared. training camp in a hot air balloon but he couldn't even practice he had to sit out after suffering frostbite from a recent cryotherapy session but he continues to get worse at that time the nfl started putting stripes on the uniform for the next season and one of those It was a helmet that was Antonio's favorite, so he refused to practice with the Raiders for weeks trying to petition the league.

The Raiders started targeting him for this and Antonio posted the letter on Instagram with the caption "When your own team wants to hate everyone, you have to pay for this." A year later, that same day, Antonio showed up to practice, confronted the general manager, and his teammates had to restrain him. A few days later, Antonio apologized to everyone during a team meeting and things really seemed to be changing until later that day, Antonio posted a video on YouTube of a private recorded conversation between him and John Gruden which the raiders They fined 215,000 for conduct detrimental to the team and avoided Antonio's 30 million in guaranteed money so he went back to Instagram and posted you're going to piss off a lot of people when you start doing what's best for you I'm not mad at anyone I'm just asking for the freedom to prove everyone wrong and just a few hours later the raiders released them the next day Antonio was signed by the patriots and the internet almost exploded imagining him and Tom Brady together and they played a single game together but then another scandal broke out and the Patriots immediately released him.

Antonio went from being a superstar and face of the NFL to almost being banned from playing again, so he's lucky. The Buccaneers gave him a chance to prove himself again, but on the bright side, at least Antonio has stayed in shape unlike this next NFL player, Jared Lorenzo's fall is one of the most heartbreaking stories in the NFL, unlike any professional athlete, was the first. to predict his own death, it all started when jared was a kid during his teenage years, jared treated sports like his life depended on it, he could have made it to the nba if he wanted to, but he was even better at football and i mean, The man was already 240 pounds in high school, so it worked out perfectly as Jared passed for a record 2,759 yards and 37 touchdowns, then during his senior year he threw for 3,393 yards, 45 touchdowns, and ran for 15 touchdowns.

Also, Jared went to Kentucky for college. and there he improved even more. He had to lose 40 pounds to 200 for his coach to let him play, but it was worth it. Jared spent four years at Kentucky and threw for over 10,000 yards and 78 touchdowns, both records to this day. but all this time, Jared's weight was slowly becoming a concern. At the end of his college career, Jared weighed 285 pounds. He didn't have the size of a typical quarterback, so no NFL team wanted to draft him. He signed with the Giants as a free agent. but they already had two solid quarterbacks, so Jared didn't have many opportunities.

He eventually joined the Colts, where he only played that preseason after playing four games over three seasons. Jared decided that the NFL just wasn't for him and in 2011 he became the general manager of the Northern Kentucky River Monsters, but he still preferred to be on the field, so the team let him become their quarterback and that year, Jared threw for 81 touchdowns and an MVP. He played a few seasons, but injuries took hold and when he retired in 2013, the man weighed over 300 pounds. Shortly after retiring, his wife divorced him, sending him into a spiraling depression. The only comfort he had was food.

The years passed and Jared continued eating. The doctors told him that he was literally killing. himself, but Jared was in denial, then in 2019, Jared looked in the mirror, jumped on a scale and hated what he saw, so he started filming a documentary called the Jared Lorenzen Project and during the first episode he weighed almost 600 pounds . Jared wanted to use this opportunity to inspire anyone else facing similar issues, he admitted he was eating dangerously and said the way I'm going now, as scary as it is, I'll die in five years if I don't wake up tomorrow, no I would.

To a shock to many people, Jared was really trying, but one day he felt a pain in his chest, so he called his father and told her that he wasn't feeling well. They called an ambulance and when he arrived at the hospital, doctors found that his oxygen levels were low. his kidneys were failing and his heart was enlarged jared lasted a few more days but even with the doctors doing everything they could he tragically passed away at the age of 38 michael vick was a face of the nfl that he had all the potential in the world to become a member from the hall of fame and at the best moment of his career, a scandal in which he was involved completely ruined his life when vic was selected for the NFL.

He became one of the rarest players to ever run a 4-25 40-yard dash. The fastest quarterback in the NFL and that's why they freaked out they gave him the highest overall speed of 95 so not only was the victim a quarterback but he could run the ball better than the most running backs and after three seasons he earned the largest contract in the NFL at the time. 130 million dollars it seemed like nothing could stop him until people found out what he was spending all those millions on after receiving a tip, the police began investigating the victim's cousin and eventually the trail led directly to Michael Vick himself and what they found was so horrible. sent shivers down their spines instead of finding evidence towards their cousin, they found dozens of injured and abandoned dogs owned by the victim, yes that's right, this world class athlete spent his free time running a dog fighting ring under the uki alias from 2001 to 2007 hundreds of thousands of dollars were being played here and at first when this was discovered the victim denied any involvement but it didn't last long as they know the dogs were found in his own home, for which he accepted the consequences and was sentenced to 23 months in prison. prison, paid over a million dollars for the care, recovery and adoption of the dogs involved, the victim went from a superstar football player to a criminal, not just a criminal, this guy fought with dogs, man, everyone loves dogs after this the public hated michael vick but at the end of the day the nfl is a business so he wasn't completely kicked out of the league he rejoined the nfl and played from 2009 to 2015 for the eagles jets and steelers, but throughout all these years fans protested and requested that he be fired and put back. 2016, when his stats were falling, no team wanted him and he had to retire.
