Former American football quarterback Rodney Peete comes with an estimated net worth of $5.5 million. During the 1984 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft, Peete was drafted in the 30th round as the 722nd overall pick from the Toronto Blue Jays. Yet, he failed to sign for the league. He made a decision to attend faculty in the University of Southern California (USC). He was the first player ever in the USC to win the Johnny Unitas Award as the country’s finest senior quarterback. He was later joined by Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. Rodney was a star third-baseman on the USC baseball team and was named to the all-Pac-10 team. While Rodney was at USC, he was drafted three times in the MLB. Peete was the 359th overall pick in the 14th round by the Oakland Athletics in 1988, the 348th overall pick in the 13th round by the Athletics, again, in 1989 and the 742nd overall pick in the 28th round by the Detroit Tigers in 1990. In 1989, Rodney Peete was selected by the Detroit Lions as the 141st pick in the 6th round of the NFL Draft. Peete may not have a breathtaking career in the NFL but he played well enough to sustain his place in the league for 16 seasons. Mostly as a back-up, Peete has played for six different franchises. Peete retired in 2004 and became among the hosts of the talk show called The Best Damn Sports Show Period in the Fox Sports Net. Peete works alongside other professional athletes including John Salley, Chris Rose and Rob Dibble.
Several relatives also played in the NFL. His father, Willie Peete, played for the Chicago Bears, uncle Eugene Jackson played for the Cleveland Browns, uncle Moody Jackson played for the Ottawa Rough Riders, uncle Steve Jackson played for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and uncle Floyd Livingston played for the Dallas Cowboys.
Quarterback for the National Football League's Detroit Lions (1989-1993), Dallas Cowboys (1994), Philadelphia Eagles (1995-1998), Oakland Raiders (2001), and Carolina Panthers (2002-2003).
