Michael Brockers has been in the NFL for eight years, so he’s made his fair share of money since being a first-round pick by the Rams in 2012. Excluding his new three-year deal with the Rams, Spotrac has his career earnings at more than $49 million.
While some athletes and celebrities like to collect cars and jewelry, shoes are Brockers’ thing. He’s worn Jordan 1 cleats during games, which shows his affinity for sneakers, and has a big collection of shoes – from Jordans to Yeezys to Louboutins. On Pat McAfee’s podcast, Brockers was asked to put an estimate on the value of his sneaker collection.
“In my shoe collection, with everything, how much money – uh, I don’t know, bro. I’m very proud of my collection. I want to say it’s close to probably like 50 – $50,000,” Brockers said.
Brockers pointed out that he’s seen basketball players with “100,000 collections,” which makes his collection look like nothing.
He picked up an interest in sneakers as a Houston native. He says everyone in Houston wears Jordans, so that’s where he got his appreciation for shoes from.
“Oh yes, big time. Big time. I love Jordans. I don’t know, you know how every city has their thing? I think me being from Houston, everybody wears J’s. Everybody wears the Jordans, so that’s something I kind of picked up and love about it,” he said.
