Lol if we drafted him you'd kiss his ass for doing such a nice gesture for his mother.  I don't see anything wrong with it. 

As a regular guy though I would never purchase a new car. There is no value in it. But I also don't have 25 mill.

Don't get me wrong, I'd buy my mom, dad, sister, brother, etc etc etc nice and expensive gifts too... but I won't be purchasing expensive items for me, going on luxurious trips to Vegas, the Maldives, or Dubai, spending it on 'premium' women, buying a vacation pad, placing investments, etc until I get a contract extension with loads of guaranteed money and possess a good second career afterwards.

I'd get a a decent/ nice house in a great location paid in full. Start a business or invest in several. Whatever that could provide me multiple incomes post NFL. Don't get me wrong I'd have nice poo too but you can't be illogical. I'd only get a mansion if I could get a bargain on land out in the country somewhere. But you also have to have the career that warrants it. If I made less than 10 million professionally I'd still be extremely conservative with my money.

I'd probably spend most of my time traveling and volunteering once I retired from a pro sport. Given I set my self up for the rest of my life.

Carolina Huddle starting this poo early this year, I see.

Buying his mom some expensive things is fine, every athlete does that. It's when he starts buying expensive thing for his aunts, uncles, cousins, and "friends" that this will become an issue.

Cam drives a dodge truck and could out spend Fournette 20 times over. Some people know how to save and some blow everything. He could have bought her a any brand of car and not had to spend 100k. Also most RBs in this league are lucky to get one payday out of there short careers.

Former LSU star running back Leonard Fournette was taken fourth overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars. His contract is projected to be worth $27,165,687, including a signing bonus of $17,887,563.

I think he can handle it.

yep.  Overall the people who overspend do so whether they make 30k or 3mill.  Frugal people generally are that way regardless of income to.  Obviously a frugal rich person will buy some crazy expensive stuff but big picture the element is still there.

Cam is so cheap his Christmas present to his OL is the same thing every year.  He gives them earphones he gets for free.  Kalil started a collection of unopened ones I think

Cam may drive a old truck, but I bet if his mom wanted something newer during his  rookie contract, she got it.  IMO, mom's are the exception to conservative spending.

      Yeah, that "Me against the world" mentality can work....when you are right and know what you are doing. But if you don't know what you are doing and can't accept that you need to learn, that is an impossible hill to climb.

      I can’t argue too hard with established track records. Just hope because it has happened before.   I think it takes massive and embarrassing failure. It isn’t hard to conceptualize the general truism that success in one field does not guarantee success in another. I have had to experience that in my the hard way before, dealing with a self made millionaire friend.  Getting them to understand that is very difficult. I had to part ways to escape it 30 years later, he still hasn’t learned. But he isn’t my problem anymore….  Tepper cannot be excised so easily.
