Replying to my own post, but that said I worked for a firm in Birmingham in the mid '80s and was hanging around one afternoon talking to the hot payroll girl. She was reconciling bank statement (yeah you still got the real checks returned to you back then instead of small copies) I saw a check for a person that I didn't recognize the name of and asked who that was. She said she didn't know but she mailed it to Tuscaloosa every week ($350) I checked their roster and yep, it was a fullback I had never even heard of. He never worked a day I was there and got a check every week. Wonder what the players made that actually played?
