Adrian Peterson is one of the best running backs in NFL history. He made a fortune playing football. Presently, he is with the Washington Redskins on a two year deal paying him $5 million with another $1.5 million in incentives.
He is also broke according to his lawyer. Peterson trusted the wrong people and now is defaulting on a number of loans. A couple went to court where he got judgments against him.
This is a common story among athletes. They tend to get involved with shady lawyers, accounts, and investment advisers. The end result is often tragic where the athlete is force into bankruptcy after earning tens of millions of dollars.
