Kam Chancellor is a household name in the NFL, the toughest, most premier, and highly regarded American football league in the world. As a strong safety for the Seattle Seahawks, he is part of the renowned group, the Legion of Boom (includes Richard Sherman, DeShawn Shead, Jeremy Lane, and Earl Thomas). As a defensive specialist, Chancellor won several accolades with the Seahawks such as disallowing the least points scored by an opponent and catching interceptions. In addition, he was a member of the team when they won Super Bowl XLVIII. Thus far in his career, he was a pro-bowler for four years.
If you are wondering where he will be playing, fear not Seahawks fans, he will be returning to Seattle for a while!

The strong safety’s net worth is a whopping $14 million. No wonder he wears bling blings and goes on exotic vacations. I wish I can acquire designer clothes and flex my Bulgattis and Ferraris to my homies. All jokes aside, he definitely worked hard to be at the place he is right now.
