Madden was drafted in the 21st round (244th overall) by the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles in 1958, but a knee injury in training camp a year later ended his playing career before he ever got a chance to play professionally.

I knew roger was big in Texas real estate but 600 million, wow.

This is similar to the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky debate. It really comes down to the exact meaning of NFL Player.

I have no idea why John Madden is on the list, he never played in the NFL.
Staubach made a fortune in Commercial Real Estate in the Dallas Area.

1. Roger Staubach â€” $600 Million
2. John Madden â€” $200 Million
3. Peyton Manning â€” $165 Million
4. John Elway â€” $145 Million
5. Tom Brady â€” $120 Million
6. Brett Farve â€” $100 Millon
7. Joe Montana â€” $80 Million

Madden is raking it in with the video games.

I don't mean this to be racist, but reallity in the USA.

It is not too suprising that all white Quarterbacks are on the list, except for Madden and EA Sports.
I am suprised Emmit Smith is not on the list. He was a little Business Man ever since he was 20 yrs. old.

It is a testament to Staubach and Montana that they have parlayed their fame into millions. They were both from the 70's, yes Montana was only 1979, but you get the point.

Staubach made $25,000 his rookie season.
