Submitted by jhartgen@abi.org on

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, USA Today reported on Saturday. Portis' mother, Rhonnel Hearn, is tied for second as the biggest creditor in Portis' bankruptcy case, according to court records. Entertainment Tonight correspondent and former sideline reporter Nischelle Turner is also owed $500,000. A mortgage company ($1,023,020) is Portis' biggest creditor and the debt is listed as a "mortgage deficiency." Portis, 34, also owes the IRS $390,000, an amount he is disputing. Rounding out the top-5 creditors is the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino, which has won judgment of $287,178 against Portis.
