Two Ex-Cal Players Among 50 Highest-Paid Athletes

Two former Cal stars are among the 50 highest-paid athletes of 2020, according to a Forbes story.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff, who played at Cal from 2013 to 2015, is the 15th-highest-paid athlete in Forbes' list of the top 100 money-making athletes. Meanwhile, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who played for the Golden Bears in 2003 and 2004, comes in at No. 45

Both left Cal after their junior seasons, but it certainly did not hurt their earning power.

Goff is the third-highest-paid football player on the list, behind quarterbacks Kirk Cousins and Carson Wentz, and overall is placed right behind golfer Rory McIlroy and just ahead of MMA athlete Conor McGregor.
