This license plate leads the way for Dolphins wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr.
Over the last two weeks, we've seen Dolphins wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. start to live up to his expectations. Now, the speedster is showing off his wheel on and off the field.
Ginn has the best first-round draft pick money can buy: a black Mercedes G500. The strong, yet sophisticated V8 car has 292 horsepower. It's price tag: $100 thousand.
What does he like most about the car? "It's fast
it does have some horsepower to it."
The G500 is just one of his four cars, but looking inside, you can learn a lot about him.
CBS4's Prim Siripipat found Ted's crocs, some Tylenol and some shea butter lotion. Every once in a while, his three Yorkshire Terriers can be found in the backseat.
Ted loves to listen to Jay-Z, but when he's had enough, he can put on a movie with one click of the remote.
The life of an NFL player is luxurious, but it wasn't always this way for Ted. He happily remembers the day he drove off the lot with his car, "It was great. Sign on the line, don't have to worry about references
it was great. It just showed all the hard work that I did."
