Chad Pennington Net Worth
Chad Pennington Net Worth: Chad Pennington is a retired American football player who has a net worth of $25 million. James Chadwick Pennington, born June 26, 1976 in Knoxville, Tennessee, was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for 11 years. Although Pennington’s first sport was basketball, he later realized that football was his true calling.
That was in 1995, when he was at a training camp at Marshall University, where he was noticed and offered a scholarship by football head coach Jim Downan. Playing college football at Marshall meant Pennington had the opportunity to show off his football skills. Pennington was selected in the first round by the New York Jets as the eighteenth overall pick of the 2000 NFL Draft. He has since embarked on a successful football career, initially playing for the Jets and then the Miami Dolphins. As a professional player, he won the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award twice in 2006 and 2008. 2008 was also the year he beat Peyton Manning in MVP voting for second place. What’s more, Chad Pennington is considered the all-time leader in the NFL with a 66.0 percent career completion rate among quarterbacks with at least 1,500 pass attempts. After 11 fruitful years on the court, on February 9, 2012, he told the world that he would rather retire than attempt a comeback after fourth shoulder surgery. As of today, he is a color analyst for Fox’s NFL telecasts.
