I'm an NFL legend but still stay humble by driving same modest car I bought for $2 despite earnings millions in my life

NFL star Alfred Morris worked his way from being a sixth round pick to a two-time Pro Bowler.

But since his collegiate days, the 34-year-old NFL running back has driven the same car that he once bought for super cheap.

Morris purchased a silver 1991 Mazda 626 from his pastor for just $2 dollars.

He bought the car during his junior year in 2010 while playing college football at Florida Atlantic University.

Alfred entered the 2012 draft and would be selected in the sixth round by Washington.

And he was force as a rookie, posting 1,613 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns.

Still, Morris would drive his 1991 car, rather than upgrading his ride.

When news broke out in 2013 about Alfred's now-vintage car, Washington D.C. Mazda dealers came together to return the car as close to its 1991 specifications as possible.

The dealers were able to upgrade the car's mechanical systems, place new panels and apply new paint color.

After the repair, Morris would still use his Mazda 626 as his main vehicle.

He'd go on to make the Pro Bowl in the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

Alfred would play for six more seasons and suit up for four other teams — the Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants.

In his nine-year career, the Florida native would collect $8million in earnings.

And the 34-year-old Morris won't upgrade his car.

"It just keeps me grounded, where I came from and all the hard work for me to get to this point," he explained in 2012, via CNBC.

"It's always going to be my baby and I’m going to drive it ‘til she dies."

Morris has a career total of 6,173 rushing yards and 35 rushing touchdowns.

And he still remains a free agent, despite lasting playing in 2020 with the Giants.
