When players receive their first big contracts they tend to spend it pretty quickly. Xavien Howard is a new millionaire but he doesn’t seem to be too keen on living like one.
A big takeaway from former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is that he never spent his NFL salary during his nine-year NFL career. In fact, according to Gronkowski, he lived off the endorsement deals and put away the near $64 million he made right into the bank.
It seems that Howard may take a similar approach, at least in theory. When asked about his new deal and what he bought with the money, Howard said he bought nothing.
