Considering the average NFL career is 3 years they essentially get paid a normal lifetime's worth of checks in the short amount of time they are expected last...works out if you ask me.

A normal lifetime worth of checks? What the hell are you calling a normal lifetime worth of pay? The average nfl salary per year is 1.1 million.

Im not saying they are overpaid but, theirs no way that they make close to what any normal person makes.
