WASHINGTON Commanders running back Austin Ekeler has stunned fans with his living situation.
Ekeler has been a top running back in the NFL for years but isn’t living like a top player.
Ekeler shared a video to his Instagram story of snowfall around where he lives and unveiled a modest situation.
“So I’ve been in LA for the last seven years and never really had to worry about getting a snow scraper,” Ekeler said while showing off his car.
“But I’m not in LA anymore… oh snap! That’s a lot of snow, that’s some deep snow.”
The Commanders running back appears to live in a small apartment complex and drives Chrysler.
That car only costs around $40,000.
The living situation is especially meager for Ekeler after considering the amount of money he has made in his career.
Ekeler is currently playing for the Commanders on a two-year, $8.4 million deal.
Across his entire career with the Los Angeles Chargers and the Commanders, Ekeler has made a whopping $32 million.
NFL fans were shocked by the way Ekeler is living based on how much money he is making and shared their thoughts on social media.
“He needs to stop wasting his money on an apartment and buy himself a house. Better investment,” one fan said.
“Frugality should be celebrated,” another fan said.
“When you living by yourself what’s wrong with a nice apartment in a good location you don’t need a big house,” a third fan said.
“These players get robbed. He’s smart,” a fourth fan said.
“Living below your means is a beautiful, stress free way of life,” a fifth fan said.
Ekeler went undrafted out of college in 2017 and eventually signed with the Chargers.
