The 20 Biggest Illegitimate Fathers In Sports

Being an illegitimate father is something that has slowly (and sadly) become something that has become apart of being a professional athlete.

With women practically throwing themselves at you the temptation is too great, unless of course, you are AC Green.

Let's take a look at the top 20 illegitimate athletes in sports today.

Honorable Mention: Noel Devine

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Two

Technically not a pro athlete but this guy has already put in some work.

He had two kids when he was in high school and reportedly may have another two floating around out there.

It may be time for him to wrap it up so all his NFL checks aren't going to child support payments.

20. Willis McGahee

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Three

There must be not much to do in Buffalo as Willis McGahee fathered three kids in two years in his time there.

Since moving to Baltimore he's kept a lower profile but you can guess what he's been up to.

19. Chad Ochocinco

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Three

Despite what Chad wants to be called, he has three kids calling him dad.

But the odds are, they don't care what his last name is since they don't even share the same one.

18. Ricky Williams

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Three

When Ricky Williams took his "sabbatical" for the NFL he left his worries behind.

Apparently he didn't bring his momma's advice for wearing condoms with him.

17. Priest Holmes

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Three

The second Texas running-back in a row on our list is Priest Holmes.

Apparently they taught something to Texas running-backs in the late-90's: Be good at running the football and pumping out kids.

Holmes and Ricky Williams got the message loud and clear.

16. Greg Minor

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Three

I originally thought this was Harold Miner who had the nickname Baby Jordan.

Maybe Greg should have been the one with the nickname baby in it.

15. Santonio Holmes

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Three

He wore out his welcome in Pittsburgh but he didn't wear out his welcome in Columbus.

In his three years at Ohio State, Holmes fathered three kids with two women.

14. Larry Johnson

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Three

Johnson steps into the top-20 with a total of five children.

However, this NBA state rounds out his child support payments to just three.

13. Oscar De La Hoya

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Four

He may be the Golden Boy of boxing, but this light middleweight boxer

This may be the real reason behind his fight with Floyd Mayweather, he needed the child support money.

12. Vladimir Guerrero

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Four

His nickname is Vlad the Impaler.

I think we just found out the origins of that name.

11. Charles Rogers

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Four

Charles Rogers is the epitome of a draft bust. Arrested on drug charges multiple times. Rogers never could quite live up to expectations as the second overall pick.

Hopefully he can exceed expectations for his four illegitimate kids.

10. Marshall Faulk

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Six

Marshall Faulk was one of the most versatile running-backs to ever play the game and probably has a date with the Hall of Fame in the future.

I wonder if all six of his kids will show up?

9. Ray Lewis

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Six

Ray Lewis is one of the top three middle linebackers of all time.

With six kids by four different women, Lewis is also one of the biggest culprits on our list of illegitimate fathers.

8. Scott Skiles

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Six

Probably the most surprising name on this list when you consider everything.

He is by no means a good looking man and wasn't a stellar basketball player– Solid but not good.

He reportedly has eight children but only six have been confirmed, granting him the No. 8 spot on our list.

7. Derrick Thomas

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Seven

Thomas had seven illegitimate children by five women.

In a heartbreaking turn of events, Thomas was killed in an automobile accident at the young age of 33.

In 2009, the former Kansas City Chief was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame.

6. Shawn Kemp

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Seven

At this juncture Kemp has seven confirmed kids by six different women. The number is rumored however, to be much higher, at 11 kids by nine different women.

Now we know why he almost played in Italy in 2008.

5. Evander Holyfield

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Nine

Holyfield won a fight on April 10th of this year.

Most likely done because he is behind on child support payments.

4. Willie Anderson

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Nine

What did this guy do in the NBA– Pretty much nothing.

And the odds are this is the first time you've ever heard of him.

3. Jason Caffey

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: Ten

I had never heard of this guy.

Ten kids by eight women?

He was arrested for not paying child support in 2007. He was $200,000 behind on payments.

2. Travis Henry

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: 11

He's out of football now but that hasn't stopped him from doing what he does best.

He had twins September of 2009, pushing his stats to 11 children by 10 women.

1. Calvin Murphy

Confirmed Illegitimate Kids: 14

We have reached the mack-daddy of illegitimate fathers.

Yes, you did read that number right. 14 children by nine different women.

You'd think a man would be bankrupt at this point but somehow he has been able to stay afloat.
