Alex Smith – Kansas City Chiefs
NFL players are some of the highest paid athletes in the world. Von Miller signed a $114.5M contract with the Broncos on Friday, making him one of the highest-paid players in the league. See who else makes the cut, according to NFL.com. On average these professional football players earn about $20 million a year from the game alone.
