J.J. Watt – Networth: $70 Million

Following close behind Ndamukong Suh, J.J. Watt secured the second-highest deal for a defensive player in the history of the NFL at $100 million for an extension with the Houston Texans. He is a three-time Pro Bowl award winner, winning the AP NFL Defensive Player Of The Year multiple times, which all come together to fatten up his earnings.

J.J. is also highly sought after by high-end brands, bringing in more off-court revenue than his fellow players. He has substantial real estate investments that supplement his net worth of $70 million in addition to that hefty salary.
