Former NFL linebacker Blake Martinez retired from football back in November after spending seven seasons in the league. It doesn't seem the 29-year-old was out of work long, however.
Since hanging up the cleats and calling it a career, Martinez has set out another venture. With football out of the picture, the former linebacker is now the owner of Blake’s Breaks, a trading card company which he founded in June of 2022 that specializes in Pokémon cards.
It's proven to be quite the lucrative venture for Martinez. Since its founding in the summer, the trading card company has reportedly brought in more than $5 million in revenue through reselling platform Whatnot, per CNBC Make It. He's earned as much as $675,000 from a single card, too.
