Reminds me of baseball legend Rickey Henderson. He was famously frugal and was said to never spend food per diem on the road. He would hoard really good food that they got after a game and used all that money to reward his kids for good grades. Always thought that was a cool story. AK seems like he has his shite together.

Former WR Jordy Nelson did the same thing.

He’d pocket the per diem on road trips & just stay in the hotel & eat the team provided “snack” they’d also give him.

Rickey Henderson may have been frugal, but he wasn’t financially astute. When he received his first million dollar bonus check from the A’s, he had the check framed instead of depositing it in the bank. The front office had to send someone to Rickey’s house to make him take the check off the wall and to the bank so the club could balance their books.
