Highest-Paid NFL Players of All Time, Ranked

When any franchise is willing to shell out tens to hundreds of millions of dollars to any particular athlete, it's usually for all the right reasons. We've seen some of the greatest athletes of all-time get their payday and we've seen some others that weren't so deserving. Now, we're here to breakdown the highest-paid NFL players of all-time. Check out the list below. Do you think these athletes are worth every penny?

The United States of America is home to the most entertainment-based billion-dollar industries on the planet. From the film industry to sports franchises, the masses just want to be entertained and root for their favorite constructs and entities. One of those constructs just so happens to be the highly-popularized National Football League.

The NFL is currently ranked first in the world amongst professional sports leagues in revenue earnings bringing in approximately $15.56 billion as a collective and approximately $396.1 million per team in 2017. With this type of cash flowing in year after year, the NFL has the spending power to pay the best athletes in the world for their services.

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

II

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

IV

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
