Not amazing considering that these guys didn't accumulate their wealth through shrewd investment opportunities and other instruments to build wealth slowly over time. Their physical gifts are not unlike hitting the lottery. We all know that lottery winners go broke regularly. Money management is a skill that's learned over time. Unfortunately most don't learn that skill until it's far too late.

40% to uncle Sam, 5% to agents and absolutely no hope of any earning capacity near that level after age of 35 (28 for most RBs). They have never had money and spend like they'll always be able to earn that amount. Not hard to see why they go broke.
