It's funny that I'm in your head 24/7. You are not even an afterthought.

Actually, Marcus is a very nice young man & I'm saddened by his misfortune. He's one of the good guys & had a really promising future in the league.

Good for him.

Did Lattimore have a Lloyd's insurance policy? He got a $300K signing bonus...but most of those policies are for at least $1 million.

Lattimore will collect a tax free insurance payout of $1.7 million dollars. If I were his financial advisor I would recommend that he invest every cent in a relatively safe investment mix of tax free and corporate bonds and a few high yield blue chip stocks where he can make a conservative 5% interest per year. He should not touch it and let it grow with compounding interest until he's around 35. He should take the job at USCe that I'm (totally) guessing will pay him around $60-70,000/year to start. Not bad money for a 23 year old without a college degree. Provided he does well there and is able to stay on track making that kind of money with cost of living raises we will be making around $100,000 when he hits 35. At that time he can start collecting just the interest on the money he's saved which will total around $3 million. His combination of interest income and earned income will total a respectable $250,000/year plus he will have $3 million in the bank plus any other money he should have socked away in a retirement account.
:nerd:

(Unfortunately, he'll be broke and handing out basketballs at a local rec center 5 years from now.)

As terrible as it sounds, you're probably right. Especially after seeing a little taste of the NFL glamorous life. Wish him the best though. He's had an undeserved road thus far.

He doesn't appear to be dumbass like most of these pros. He appears thoughtful and Mature beyond his years. Plus I think he'll get some investing advice while back at USC

I'm actually surprised that he didn't have a larger insurance policy. I thought the NCAA started allowing that through the schools but I may be wrong. Top guys like Lattimore, who have the chance to make double digit millions, should be allowed to have insurance policies of at least $5 million and the schools should foot the bill. JMHO

It's really sad. That was probably the worst knee injury I'd ever seen I knew he was never playing again after that. This guy was looking like the next ap.

Terribly sad story that he had to retire. Great kid and great football player, that injury was one of the worst things I've ever seen happen to an athlete.

Trust me, he'll get paid pretty well. They're feeling pretty guilty regarding what happened to him and he'll be "rewarded" for his past play. And I don't think he'll be a grad assistant.

"he'll end up pumping gas for the rest of his life like all the other players".
