Former NFL Running Back Clinton Portis Has Filed for Bankruptcy Protection

Former Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos running back Clinton Portis made about $43 million during his nine-season NFL career.

But a federal bankruptcy filing this week showed Portis owes nearly $5 million to creditors --- including $500,000 to his own mother.

Portis' mother, Rhonnel Hearn, is tied for second as the biggest creditor in Portis' bankruptcy case, according to court records obtained by USA TODAY Sports. Entertainment Tonight correspondent and former sideline reporter Nischelle Turner is also owed $500,000.
