Leonard Williams – $39M
Leonard Williams looks pretty mature for his age with a six-foot-five 302-pound build. However, it’s the same stature that allowed him to become a star athlete and enter the “NFL” to make $39 million in one year. Williams currently plays for the “New York Giants” although, he was drafted by the “New York Jets” in 2015.
With a growing total of 323 tackles, he is one of the most skilled defensive ends in the league. Why else would the Giants pay him $63 million for three years with $45 million guaranteed?
