Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown earned more than $80 million during his 12-year career, according to Spotrac. Yet the seven-time Pro Bowler filed for bankruptcy in federal court on Monday, according to the Florida Times-Union.

Court documents reviewed by the Times-Union show Brown owes nearly $3 million to at least eight creditors. Among them is a Florida truck driver who was awarded $1.2 million after Brown reportedly assaulted him. The driver was awarded the sum when Brown did not appear in court for the lawsuit.

KCB Marketing sued Brown for allegedly not paying commissions on more than $2 million in earnings from marketing deals, the Tampa Bay Times reported in 2021.
