NFL players get 17 game checks a season, so you'd figure they would know the whereabouts of each and every one of them. Well, that isn't always the case, apparently.

Atlanta Falcons linebacker Sean Weatherspoon revealed that his lady found one of those 17 paychecks while the couple was moving.

Weatherspoon made roughly $2.4 million in 2015, meaning that one check was roughly worth $138,000. Not exactly finding change between the couch cushions like the rest of us.

@nwilborn19 bro they gave me one hard copy all season... Everything else was direct deposit lol #blessed
