Former NFL running back Clinton Portis has filed for bankruptcy just five years after retiring from the league.
Portis, who made $40 million over the course of his nine-year career, has a long list of creditors, including the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas ($287,178.56), the IRS ($458,619.79), his mother ($500,000), and others.
According to NBC Sports, bad investments led to Portis’ downfall, as he lost $8 million on a failed casino and another $2 million to a Ponzi scheme. Portis had nearly 12,000 all-purpose yards and 80 touchdowns playing for the Denver Broncos and Washington Redskins.
