Saver: Giovani Bernard

Running backs are some of the most valuable players on an NFL team, yet they aren’t paid the most and their careers are usually short. While the best earn a lot if they keep injuries to a minimum, many are done after just a few years.

Bernard, a back for the Cincinnati Bengals, has defied odds and has played in the league for nearly a decade. Oddly enough, he still lives in a small apartment and drives a used minivan – no doubt to save once his playing days have ended.
