Some of the wealthiest sportsmen today ply their trade in the National Football League, and most of them drive incredible cars.
There is no doubting that professional football in America is a booming market. Revenues during the 2018-2019 NFL season surpassed $16 billion, representing a 5% increase over the previous season. These figures are likely to rise further, with a revenue target of $25 billion set for 2027.
| NFL Players Cars | Models |
|---|---|
| Alfred Morris | Mazda 626 |
| Cam Newton | Ferrari F12 Berlinetta |
| Antonio Brown | Rolls Royce Wraith |
| Odelle Beckham Jr | Rolls Royce Cullinan |
| Pat O’Donnell | McLaren 570S |
| Aaron Donald | Karma Revero |
| Joe Haden | Lamborghini Aventador |
These NFL stars live lives commensurate with their enhanced position, including lavish mansions and the obligatory supercar garage. It is the ultimate indulgence for many of them. Here’s a list of NFL stars who made it big and are not afraid to show it off in the form of exotic autos …all except one.
Cars of NFL Players
1. Alfred Morris – Mazda 626
Nothing says “strange one out” like this photo of NFL player Morris and his beloved Mazda 626, affectionately nicknamed “Bentley.” He bought the 1991 model car for $2 in 2010 and has kept it despite earning millions in NFL wages. Mazda volunteered to restore the car in 2013, giving it a fresh lease on life and extending its lifespan by several years.
2. Cam Newton – Ferrari F12 Berlinetta
The Carolina Panthers quarterback met his craving for speed by purchasing this Ferrari powerhouse. The supercar’s 6.3L naturally-aspirated V12 engine produces over 700 horsepower, more than enough for serious tarmac excitement. In 2018, a dump truck crashed with his Ferrari, but the damage was so minor that he didn’t even need to file a police report.
3. Antonio Brown – Rolls Royce Wraith
He was a wide receiver with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Oakland Raiders, and New England Patriots. At one point, Antonio Brown was the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, and his garage reflected this. When he arrived for training in this opulent Rolls Royce with a galactic-themed wrap, he caused quite a sensation.
4. Odelle Beckham Jr – Rolls Royce Cullinan
When you’re an NFL superstar, you’re always tempted to take advantage of the lucrative pay package that comes with the territory. That is exactly what Odelle, or OBJ, did when he purchased an extensively customised Rolls Royce Cullinan. He even had a figure of himself replace the famed ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ insignia.
5. Pat O’Donnell – McLaren 570S
Pat is a Chicago Bears punter who is frequently seen in his beautiful grey McLaren coupe. The British sportscar is the entry model in the McLaren Sport Series portfolio, but it still packs a strong punch, reaching 60 mph in little over 3 seconds. It also offers enough creature amenities to make it a viable everyday driver.
6. Aaron Donald – Karma Revero
Aaron signed a 6, $135 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018. He marked the occasion by having the limited edition Karma Revero delivered to his home. The Revero is an electric car with a backup combustion engine that may cost up to $140,000 depending on options, but we’re sure Aaron didn’t break a sweat while signing the check!
7. Joe Haden – Lamborghini Aventador
Joe Haden’s net worth has lately been projected to be more than $100 million. With such rich pockets, the Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback can easily afford to stock his garage with two Rolls Royce sedans and this orange Lamborghini Aventador. He purchased the Aventador to replace another Lamborghini in his collection, a white Murcielago Roadster.
