Broke several rushing records in his years in the NFL. One of the best. Solid thread bud. 1st downvote.

News article
Adrian Peterson is reportedly in debt, a shocking revelation for a future Hall of Fame running back who has made more than $100 million during his career.
Peterson, who last played for the Vikings in 2016, is the focus of a report from The Athletic (paywall) that claims he's being sued in Pennsylvania because he didn't pay back a $5.2 million loan, in addition to two other legal matters where he's been ordered to pay creditors a combined $3 million.
The $3 million owed to creditors includes $600,000 left on a $2.4 million loan from a Minnesota bank, the report says.
In a statement to Pro Football Talk, Peterson's attorney said "the truth behind Adrian Peterson’s current financial situation is more than is being reported at this time,” while adding it's "yet another situation of an athlete trusting the wrong people and being taken advantage of by those he trusted."
Peterson is entering his second season with the Washington Redskins and is due to make $1 million in salary after receiving a $1.5 million signing bonus earlier this year.
According to OverTheCap, Peterson's career earnings (not including endorsement money) total $100,221,471.
About five years ago, ESPN's documentary series profiled athletes who go broke despite making millions. The film highlighted a 2009 Sports Illustrated article that claimed 78 percent of former NFL players had gone bankrupt or were under financial stress because of bad investments, freeloaders and ongoing medical problems.

He doesn't seem to worried about it. He was in Houston last week working with a bunch of kids in a literacy program. Always been one to try and put back into the community. Seems like one of the good guys to me.

How do you go broke when you make 100 million. Cut off the free loaders and hire a good money manager
Posted on 7/23/19 at 2:15 pm to Desert King
He still has enough assets to put his net worth in the $30 million range. He's no Roger Staubach, but not broke.

A financial literacy class should be a required for every male college athlete.

Doesn’t he have like 9 kids by 8 women?
Wasn’t he just suspended for beating the hell out of his 3 year old son with a switch until he bled?
Just because he does some community service or has a friendly smile doesn’t automatically make him a good person.

Getting sued doesn’t mean you’re broke. There could be a number of reasons he hasn’t paid back certain creditors.

I don't think it's that many. Maybe 5 by 4 women. But he can easily go broke with all the child support payments coupled by spending money foolishly.
It was no secret during his time in MN that he had money problems. If he's not in the NFL he'll be in the XFL trying to earn a buck.

Pretty sad. Given the money the NFL makes, you'd think they'd gave better programs in place to vet managers and advisers. Then again that could make them liable for bad advice and you can't tell players what do to with their own money.
