Jason Elam has a net worth of $9 million as of late 2016. He was born on 8th March 1970 and is a retired American Football placekicker. Elam played in the NFL for the Denver Broncos (1993-2007), and Atlanta Falcons (2008-2009). His career started in 1993 and ended in 2010.
Elam attended Brookwood High School in Snellville, Georgia, where he excelled in football, track, and swimming. He then enrolled at the University of Hawaii and played as a placekicker, recording 397 points, which brought him third place in the NCAA’s history and the leader in field goals scored in the history of the University, among other records he set, before he graduated with a degree in communications.
In the 1993 NFL Draft, Elam was selected as the 70th overall pick by the Denver Broncos, where he stayed until 2008, when he signed a contract with the Atlanta Falcons. Elam’s successful career as a football player earned him an estimated net worth of $9 million. He won two Super Bowl rings in 1998 and 1999. He also set several records, including for the longest kick at 63 yards, tied with legends such as Sebastian Janikowski, David Akers, and Tom Dempsey. Additionally, he became the fastest player in the NFL to reach 1,300 points in 170 games and led the NFL in Total Field Goals Made with 31 in 2001.
After the 2007 season ended, Elam’s contract with the Broncos expired, and he signed a contract with the Atlanta Falcons, worth $9 million over four years. However, after a decline in performance, he was waived by the team. He then signed a one-day contract with the Broncos and retired on the 30th March 2010.
Following his retirement, Elam pursued a career as a writer and published three books. His first book, “Monday Night Jihad,” was released in 2008, followed by “Blown Coverage” in the same year, and his third book, “Blackout” was released a year later.
Elam is married to Tammy, and the couple has four sons and two daughters. He currently resides with his family in Sitka, Alaska, where he recently bought an island home.
