An NFL player who has made $28 million spends 12 hours a day working on his family farm in the off-season
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson signed a four-year, $39 million contract a year ago but that doesn't keep him from returning to his family farm in tiny Riley, Kansas every off-season and putting in a full day's work.
In an interview in the new issue of ESPN the Magazine, Nelson explained that he will work up to 12 hours per day on the farm, driving a combine to cut wheat or rounding up the 1,000-cow herd in the town with a population of 992.
