Model Ryan

Professional football players make millions of dollars. Many then go bankrupt after their pro athlete days are done. But Ryan Broyles, receiver for the Detroit Lions, is an exception to the rule.

Making over a million per year, "he still owns the 2005 Trailblazer he drove in college."  Ryan and his wife reportedly live on about $60,000 per year - and put the rest of his earnings into investments and savings.

"Broyles wanted to make sure his NFL career, however long it lasts, really did set him up for life." Because . . he knows his pro football days will not last forever.
