Dream Ride
Professional sports players tend to make millions of dollars per year, which affords them the finer things in life such as big houses, yachts, and of course, custom automobiles. We've seen some pretty cool athlete-owned Ford trucks over the years, and the latest comes to us from Dreamworks Motorsports, which recently showed off this custom Ford F-150 Raptor owned by Green Bay Packers cornerback Eric Stokes Jr.

Moving Up
The 22-year-old Stokes Jr. signed a contract good for $11.93 million, plus a $6 million signing bonus, so he was eager to upgrade on his old 2017 Dodge Charger that he's owned for a few years. Thus, he purchased a brand new second-gen F-150 Raptor, then called upon Dreamworks Motorsports to customize it to his liking.

Dirty Red
Inside, Dreamworks gave this off-road-focused pickup a custom interior with "Dirty Red" embroidered on the headrests, which is the truck's nickname. It also features an RGBW Starlight Headliner that glows red, lending a bit of contrast to the black leather and complementing the exterior as well.

Color Match
Speaking of the outside, several exterior parts on this F-150 Raptor have been color-matched to its red body color, with the bumpers and all the trim painted that same hue. There are some black accents to break it all up, however, which gives the pickup a nice bit of contrast.

Big Wheel
The whole thing rolls on a large set of 22-inch Fuel wheels wrapped in 35-inch Toyo all-terrain tires, which are finished in black and frame a set of red brake calipers. The look is capped off with smoked headlights and taillights, giving this F-150 Raptor a truly unique appearance.

Boosted
Dreamworks also gave the truck's twin-turbo 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 a bit of a boost with a Cobb Tuner, a blow-off valve, and an upgraded exhaust, all of which should provide a bit of a boost to the engine's stock ratings of 450 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque.

Big Upgrade
With a suspension leveling kit also installed, this F-150 Raptor sits just right and looks great with all of its many mods in place. Clearly, Stokes made the right choice in upgrading to this particular pickup, putting that pro football money to good use at the same time.
