17. Matt Ryan (Atlanta Falcons) – $70M
Matt Ryan served as quarterback for Boston College before the Atlanta Falcons selected him during the 2008 NFL Draft at number three overall. Since his selection, Ryan has now achieved over 13 years in his chosen career and has done pretty well for himself.However, he will not only be remembered for his great playing skills but also, as the quarterback, many people say “couldn’t finish the job.” This title results from his failure to cop the title from the Patriots after being down 28-3 late in the third quarter. But, this is no big deal for Ryan as his current net worth sits at an average of $70 million.
