Though former New England Patriots tight end Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski may delight fans with his silly antics, he’s anything but when it comes to managing his money.
The former player recently revealed that he never spent a cent of his NFL salary, using income from off-the-field activities to pay his bills. But the “Gronk” isn’t the only NFL athlete to invest his money wisely and buck the trend of well-paid athletes who later fall on financial hard times despite their astronomical paychecks.

It is one of the great NFL Week 18s in recent memory, with the top seeds in both conferences up for grabs as well as four division **** les at stake -- including three head-to-head matchups that will decide a **** le.
