Luther Elliss
Luther Elliss played for 8 years in the NFL as a defensive lineman for the Detroit Lions. Over that period of time Elliss would make two Pro Bowls in order to help cushion his $11 million career earnings. Elliss wouldn’t make it five years out of the league before he would be filing for bankruptcy. Elliss lost his fortune by spending recklessly, investing in poor opportunities, and even, yes, donating too much of his money to charity.
Vince Young
Vince Young started off as an elite college quarterback who had it all. While Young had all the signs to make it far in the draft, he unraveled at the seems as quickly as he came. He has now filed for bankruptcy.
