While Travis Henry had a successful NFL career, the fact that he fathered 11 children with 10 different women means that he has to keep up with a whole lot of child support. Of course, that is quite difficult, when it is estimated that his child support payments comes out to about $170,000 a year. In 2009, he was arrested when he failed to pay. Though he signed a 5 year contract for $22.5 million with the Broncos, drug use and bad behavior meant he was fired just one year into the contract.
