SALT LAKE CITY — Former Utah football player Luther Elliss has been on top of the mountain and then on the bottom. He became an all-too familiar NFL player statistic — going bankrupt.
But his story has a happy ending.
Elliss was living the NFL dream, making millions and raising a large family. But after his playing days, he lost all of his money — and had to fight back through tough times to get back to the NFL.
This Sunday, he will be part of the Denver Broncos staff as they take on the Patriots for a spot in the Super Bowl.
