I've known a few NFL players over the years. Many of these guys act like they are still in college only they have money now. 
The only furnishings in their ~800K homes were in the video game room, living room (tv and couches) and there's usually an odd bedroom that's just piles and piles of shoe boxes and athletic gear sent to them by endorsements and potential endorsements. 
I remember this one guy had about $30K worth of nice custom cabinets in his new house but they had nothing in them but mismatched thrift store dishes/cutlery from his college apartment. 

Assuming these guys are organized with their finances (and otherwise) because they have a few million dollars is not wise IMO.

The NFL gives plenty of classes and symposiums on the importance of hiring these people to manage your finances and life.

If they don't adhere... once again... it speaks of his maturity and decision making
