The world of professional football is often associated with wealth, luxury and high-octane lifestyles, and one of the most visible indicators of this opulence is the collection of rare and tricked-out cars owned by NFL players.
It’s become commonplace for athletes to move their passion for competition and performance from the field into their garages. Exotic cars can be the ultimate status symbol as well as an outlet for self-expression, with many cars blending cutting-edge engineering with bold aesthetics. From custom interiors tailored to personal tastes to aftermarket modifications that enhance both style and speed, NFL players have spared no expenses in creating the ultimate automotive experiences.
NFL players’ affinity for luxury cars is also a way to showcase their individuality, as evidenced by their willingness to spend significant amounts on personalization.
While some view these purchases as symbols of success, others critique them as extravagant displays of wealth. Regardless of perspective, the cars NFL stars drive offer a fascinating glimpse into how they choose to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Let’s take a look at some of the most expensive cars driven by the top players in the league.

Lamborghini Urus, introduced as the world’s first Super Sport Utility Vehicle (SSUV), is the type of ride you might expect to see Tony Stark driving. This supercar — with the practicality of an SUV, natch — is the crown jewel in Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott‘s collection. The Urus has a top speed of 190 mph and can go from 0 to 60 mph in three seconds.
Valued at approximately $670,000, the Cowboys QB’s car collection is beyond impressive. Prescott also owns other high-end models including a Ferrari, a Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG and a Cadillac Escalade. The Urus is the most expensive of them all, though.

Introduced in 2012, the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is a front mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer, and it can be found in the garage of former Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton. The F12 Berlinetta’s design is a collaboration between Ferrari’s Styling Centre and Pininfarina, featuring aerodynamic innovations like the “Aero Bridge,” which channels air from the hood to the sides, enhancing downforce and reducing drag. We’re living in the future, folks.
Additionally, the interior of the Berlinetta exudes luxury, with high-quality materials and a driver-focused layout, ensuring both comfort and control. In 2018, Newton and his Ferrari were involved in a car crash with a dump truck, but all involved were OK.

Kansas City Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce also has a fondness for Ferraris — and luxury vehicles in general. Kelce’s Ferrari Purosangue, valued at around $400,000, is part of his impressive nine-car collection. Another super-speedy ride, the Purosangue goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 193 mph.
Kelce’s interest in the Purosangue was sparked by his recent travels to Europe, particularly Italy, where he was inspired by the local automotive culture. His experiences there influenced his decision to incorporate Italian craftsmanship into his collection, with the Purosangue being a handsome centerpiece.
5. Patrick Mahomes: Ferrari 812 Superfast (Approximately $429,000)

Kelce’s teammate, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, comes in at No. 5 on our list with his Ferrari 812 Superfast. Known for its blistering speed and sleek design, you could say the Superfast matches Mahomes’ dynamic playing style. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in under 2.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 211 mph. Such performance places it among the fastest road-legal Ferraris ever produced.
The Ferrari 812 Superfast had a starting price of approximately $429,000, but may have cost more depending on any modifications the Chiefs superstar wanted. With a contract valued at $450 million, Mahomes can certainly afford it.
