Johnson has stayed out of the field post-retirement and engages himself in the support of several philanthropic organizations like the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Brad’s Buddies, Children’s Miracle Network, and Gillette Children’s Hospital.
He also takes an active part in Toys for Tots and United Way’s Hometown Huddle and is the host of a golf event that is beneficial for the Ronald McDonald House.
He Almost Lost it All
Brunell was widely known for his investment habit; he invested his NFL earnings into several other business ventures. However, these businesses were not that successful, and by 2011, many people started saying that he had lost his money ($50 million) due to failed businesses and had gone completely bankrupt.
The legal documents stated that the player had invested his earnings into nine businesses, five of which sank badly. Most of his fortune got wasted on fast food chains and real estate projects, and all of these happened around Jacksonville. Brunell currently works as an NFL analyst for ESPN and is also the head coach of a school in Jacksonville.
Brad Johnson
Johnson, one of the most famous quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, played in the World League of Football initially but then moved on to the position of a division-winning quarterback for the Washington Redskins. He also went on to become a Super Bowl champion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
His career graph slumped after he started playing as a backup for the Dallas Cowboys and then called it quits in 2008.
Matt Hasselbeck
The world first came to know Hasselbeck in the late 1990s as the player who was Brett Favre's backup in Green Bay. He then moved on to the Seattle Seahawks, who acquired him before the start of the 2001 season.
He played in the starting position for them throughout the entire time of the decade and achieved three Pro Bowl selections. It was because of him that the Seattle Seahawks got into the Super Bowl XL in 2005.
His Brother Took Him Along
Hasselback announced his retirement in 2016 and moved on to work with his brother Tim, who is an analyst for ESPN.
He was successful in replacing the super-famous head coach Mike Ditka on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown Show and also appears on the broadcast of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.
