Russell Wilson (32) – $135 Million
NFL quarterback Russel Wilson played both baseball and football at North Carolina State University. But after he transferred to the University of Wisconsin in 2011, he focused on football. He hasn’t regretted it and has won a Super Bow in 2013 with the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson is also an eight-time All-Star player.
He is also one of the best-paid players in the NFL and as recently as 2019 he signed a lucrative $140 million to stay with the Seattle Seahawks until 2023. This made him the highest-paid player in the league. In 2021 he ranked 12th in the top 100 players, which was his third-highest placement.
