Mark Brunell

Mark Brunell had a successful NFL career that earned him about $50 million, which should mean he would be set for life. However, in 2010 he filed for bankruptcy with just $5 million of assets and more than $25 million of debts. He lost a lot of money investing in Whataburger locations that failed and closed down. In 2012, he was hired by the Lions as a quarterback coach so he could get back on his feet financially.
