Business wise, not just from their pro career.
Off the top of my head Jerry Jones and Jerry Richardson (Owner of Hardees & former owner of Carolina Panthers).
Was reading an article about how 78% of NFL players go Bankrupt after their career and thought of this question.

Colinsworth will be in the announcer hall of fame which I think is notable.

Payton, Bo and Charles immediately come to mind but there are many others.

We had a walk on receiver last year that had created a profitable enough business while in college to provide some of our guys NIL deals. Definitely not Jerry Jones level and idk how much it was but I thought that was kinda cool.

Heath Shuler has HOF talent but injuries and the misfortune of being drafted by the Washington Redskins ended his career. He quickly returned to DC as a congressman (blue dog Democrat) and served honorably before returning to North Carolina and establishing himself in real estate.
His politics aside(he wasn’t a terrible democrat but there are very few good ones) he has done very well for himself despite his plan A falling through.
Craig Colquitt broke the genetic code to breeding elite punters.

Shaq has probably the highest net worth of 400MM.

Bob Baumhower did pretty well for himself in the restaurant business after retiring from the NFL.

Johnny Musso became very successful in the commodities business in Chicago.

VERY impressed with what Shaq has done. He is probably the standard.
For Aggies, Dat Nguyen has done well for himself after leaving the NFL.

One of the biggest for Georgia was Billy Payne.
All SEC and All American.
He led the campaign for Atlanta to win the summer Olympics (CEO in 1988). After winning the bid, he was the chair for the games.
Then he became chair of Augusta National in 2006.

UGA has a good number who have made their name in TV.

Chase Daniel.
You could basically say he’s been successful since his career ended at Mizzou.(which is when his playing days basically ended lol)
Long time NFL backup that has made starter money for being known as “the best NFL backup” without ever really playing.
Already has an analyst job lined up when he officially retires and already stepping into the role now on NFL network.

I really dont think that that the nil guys are realizing how much value they have as local commentators after the fact. If you dont have a 10 year deal and it's not enough to set you for life then you still have to work. I bet Jordan Addison doesn't have much value in the city of Pittsburgh and he could have gone down as one of the best ever at pitt and probably made well over six figures as an insurance salesman or some nonsense just because of who he is. He won't get that in LA.

All the Mannings that played have done extremely well for themselves after playing

I know Tom Cousins went to UGA but I think he played golf at UGA and he’s a billionaire a couple times over. He also got the Hawks to Atlanta and basically brought Eastlake Golf Club, Bobby Jones home course, back to her former glory…and today it hosts the Tour Championship. He’s prob done more to buy up slums and make quality housing in town than anybody. Fine man.
