Fred Taylor did too. 

I've been watching All Or Nothing on Amazon and Cam Newton spends an obscene amount of money on clothing, probably his house and cars as well. He said he used to watch Cribs on MTV and he wanted all the stuff that comes along with having money. 

A lot of these players come from having nothing and the music and entertainment industry (looking at you Kanye, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, etc.) as well as our consumer driven society practically brainwashes folks into believing they have to have this stuff. Then there is the expectation from friends and family that they are going to have a certain lifestyle and so pride and reputation comes into the picture. Add to that the sharks that come around and take advantage of guys who they know don't know any better and it's a recipe for disaster. 

As an aside all those shows on HGTV does the same thing in making people believe that what their house looks like isn't good enough so people go and spend a bunch of money they probably don't have just to keep up appearances.
