Andre Rison knows.
Listen up, rookies … ex-NFL star Andre Rison is shelling out some VERY valuable advice on how to NOT go broke like he did … telling TMZ Sports what he wishes he’d done during his playing days.
FYI — the former 1st-round pick made more than $20 MILLION during his 11-year career — but ended up filing for bankruptcy in 2007 after years of spending his earnings on jewelry and partying.
Rison says it’s a “drastic change” for these young players to become rich basically overnight … and says focusing on your closest family and friends is important, but it should end there.
