Joe Flacco has an estimated net worth of $35 million
Joe Flacco is an American professional football player with an estimated net worth of $35 million. Flacco is the starting quarterback for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens team. He is 6’6″ and weighs 245 pounds. Joseph Vincent “Joe” Flacco was born on January 16, 1985 in Audubon, New Jersey. Growing up in a suburb of Philadelphia, Flacco was a standout in football and basketball and was the starting quarterback for his high school team. He was good enough to be listed among the top 50 high school prospects in the class of 2003 and initially accepted a scholarship to play at the University of Pittsburgh. After redshirting his first year, Flacco could not find consistent playing time in 2004 and eventually decided to transfer to the University of Delaware, where he would see his first extended playing time in 2006. After a solid first season, Flacco became one of the most accurate passers in college football in the 2007 season and broke numerous school records.
Although Flacco didn’t expect to play in the NFL after his junior season, he entered the 2008 NFL Drafts and was taken with the 18th pick by the Baltimore Ravens, making him the highest player ever drafted from the University of Delaware. Flacco signed a 5-year deal for $30 million. He would be thrust into the starting lineup immediately when injuries and illness sacked the quarterbacks ahead of Flacco. Although his rookie statistics were initially underwhelming, Flacco showed improvement throughout the year and eventually led the Ravens to a playoff win, only the third rookie to do so up to that point. He also won his second playoff game the next week and later was named the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year. Flacco would steadily improve over the next five years, until he became one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL.
Flacco earns the distinction of being the only quarterback in NFL history to win a playoff game in each of his first five seasons. His status as one of the game’s elite players, however, wouldn’t come until the 2012 season when Flacco led the Ravens to a Super Bowl title. He was named the Super Bowl MVP and had the good fortune to have his contract up for extension. The Ravens would go on to make Flacco the highest paid quarterback in the league, signing him to a six-year contract worth $120.6 million. The contract was eventually surpassed by Aaron Rodgers. With his newfound fame, Flacco has increasingly been tapped by major brands, including McDonald’s and Nike. Flacco is married with two sons.
