Rison started 13 out of 16 games and finished his rookie season with 52 receptions for 820 yards and four receiving touchdowns.
On April 20, 1990, the Indianapolis Colts traded Andre Rison, Chris Hinton, and a draft pick to the Atlanta Hawks for their first overall pick and a fourth-round pick in the 1990 NFL Draft. In his first year with Atlanta, Rison was a Pro Bowler and a First-Team All-Pro selection.
Rison played five years with the Falcons and was a Pro Bowler in four consecutive years. He also led the league in receiving touchdowns in 1993 with 15 and was the fifth receiver in NFL history to score 60 touchdowns in his first six seasons.
After a successful stint with the Atlanta Falcons, Rison signed a five-year, $17 million deal with the Cleveland Browns on April 17, 1995. Unfortunately, he had career lows in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.
The following offseason, Rison joined the Jacksonville Jaguars on a three-year, $6.6 million deal. He played 10 games with the Jaguars before being released due to a rift between him and quarterback Mark Brunell.

Andre Rison post-career

In 2012, he announced that he would leave Flint Northwestern to complete his degree at Michigan State and join their football team as an assistant coach.
Aside from coaching, he also trains aspiring wide receivers at the Andre Rison Football Academy. He also coached in the 2008 Hawaii All-Star Classic.

Andre Rison files for bankruptcy
Despite his earnings throughout his football career, Rison filed for bankruptcy in 2007. He explained the factors that led him to lose his fortune, but one of the major ones is that he spent $1 million on jewelry.
Aside from that, frequent clubbing was one of the reasons that he declared bankruptcy.
“We were going to new levels,” Rison said. “We were making it snow. You start throwing $100 bills instead of fives. So you’ve got a competition going on now. I’d be lying on the bed knocked out (after getting back from the club) with $10,000 lying on the floor. I’ve got another $5,000 in my pocket. You might find another $7,500 in the pocket in my coat.”
In addition to his financial issues, controversy arose about his relationship with TLC's Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. The two dated on and off from 1993-2001, and it was a rocky relationship. She was even charged with first-degree arson after lighting his shoes on fire in the bathtub and burning his house down in 1994
On a more positive note, on May 30, 2017, Andre Rison was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in Detroit, and the induction ceremony took place on September 15, 2017.
In 2018, Andre Rison claimed that Terrell Owens’ decision to hold his own Hall of Fame ceremony hurt his chances of getting into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Only time will tell if we’ll ever see Andre Rison inducted into the Hall of Fame.
