NFL stars make a lot of money, but some contracts are bigger than others.
00:04
These three players got the biggest rookie contracts in NFL history.
00:07
After picking Matt Ryan third overall in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons went on
00:11
to hand him the third biggest rookie contract of all time, a six-year $72 million deal.
00:16
This made Ryan the fourth highest paid quarterback in the NFL at that time, before he'd even
00:20
played a game.
00:21
Matt Ryan went on to have a stellar career in the NFL, winning the MVP in 2016.
00:26
The Detroit Lions picked Matt Stafford at number one in the 2009 NFL Draft and handed
00:30
him a $72 million deal.
00:32
Stafford was a solid player for the Lions before signing for the Rams in 2021.
00:36
Stafford took it up a few notches and led the Rams to a Super Bowl win.
00:40
The biggest rookie contract of all time went to Sam Bradford in 2010.
00:44
The Rams picked him with the first overall pick and handed Bradford a six-year deal worth
00:47
over $70 million.
00:49
However, the former college football standout never managed to fulfill his potential in
00:53
the NFL despite his strong start to his career.
00:56
He spent nine years in the league before retiring in 2009.
