Ray Rice

Many people still remember the story of Ray Rice very well. He enjoyed a successful career playing for the Baltimore Ravens and became their second-leading rusher of all time when it comes to total yards. However, in 2014, he got arrested for committing aggravated assault on his fiancée at the time. A video surfaced of Ray Rice assaulting and knocking out his fiancée, which caused him to lose his spot with the Ravens. The majority of his money was used up in penalties and legal fees, and it is not expected that he would return to the NFL even though technically, he is a free agent.

Vince Young

Young filed for bankruptcy back in January 2014, in a Houston federal bankruptcy court. After this incident, he received a job offer at the University of Texas, which he previously attended. Unfortunately, his luck hadn’t turned around completely because he received a DUI in Austin, Texas two years later, and the second one in 2019. Vince is involved in several community service projects but was fired from being a Longhorns QB coach in 2019.
