The NFL has all kinds of offensive figures, some better valued economically than others. However, in general the gains of the players are more than significant, since they are part of one of the sports leagues that delivers the best salaries.
Two of the names that stand out the most are Ezekiel Elliott and Odell Beckahm Jr. , who from the beginning of their careers have been considered as stars of the NFL.
Elliott came to the NFL in 2016 and immediately made a notable impact on the Dallas Cowboys, becoming their main running back. So far he has three Pro Bowl selections, in addition to being chosen to the NFL dream team once.

Thanks to the huge contract extension he signed before moving to the Cleveland Browns, Beckham Jr. has total earnings of $ 79 million, in addition to the just over $ 30 million he has received as the face of major brands. His net worth is estimated at $ 40 million.
The difference between these players in financial terms is remarkable, giving Beckham Jr. an advantage thanks to his role as a celebrity and a couple of extra years in which he has received a star salary in the NFL.
