Patrick Willis Net Worth 2024: Exploring 49ers legend's wealth

Patrick Willis will become one of the seven NFL icons to get enshrined in this year's Pro Football Hall of Fame. The former linebacker played his entire pro career with the San Francisco 49ers from 2007 to 2015.

According to CelebrityNetWorth, Willis has a net worth of $20 million. He made a small fortune across his eight-year NFL career, with just over $45.5 million in career earnings, as per Spotrac.

The 49ers selected Willis with the No.11 pick in the 2007 NFL draft. He signed a five-year, $16.655 million rookie contract with the team. In 2010, Willis signed a blockbuster five-year, $50 million extension with the San Francisco team.

Willis announced his retirement after the 2014 season. Many believe that the player could have continued at the top level for a few more years. However, the linebacker made his presence felt during his time in the pro league.

In February this year, Willis was announced as a Hall of Famer after his fifth time on the ballot and third as a finalist. Earlier this week, Willis was asked whether he was nervous about being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, to which he replied (via FOX):

"I feel like no matter how much work you put in, how much preparation you have, it’s not over until it is done. That’s kinda my approach now, pretty much like gameday where you’re still looking over your notes, still going through and looking at some things."
