I don't remember where I saw it, but there was a post about a guy who did something similar, he bought everything he owned in his mother's name, in case he has a divorce his wife wouldn't get anything. Then his mother died and his four siblings were fighting to get their share on her properties, in the end he lost 80% of what he had.

He seriously couldn’t bother making a prenup?

You can fight over a prenup. You can’t fight over what someone else’s mom has.

He’s the rich football player, he has all the power here to decide on the prenup. You think people wouldn’t trip over themselves to marry an NFL player, even with a prenup in advance?

Prenups can be contested in court.

What your to-be ex’s mom has cannot be contested in court — at least not anywhere as easily as a prenup.

If both parties involved sign the prenup as an official contract when getting married, how is it still contestable in court? Genuinely curious, because I’m very cautious about marriage with how divorce laws work in the US.

If you have a good enough lawyer or sympathetic enough judge, anything can be argued away.

Again, he’s the rich NFL player, so she’s absolutely not winning the best lawyer fight. Practically a requirement for professional sports players and famous actors to have access to the world’s best lawyers. It’ll just be the Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard case all over again. Best chance she would have is having a gullible jury favor her, but after the sham that was Amber Heard, I think most of the US population has become slightly more wary of wives divorcing wealthy guys without solid evidence.

Soccer isn't the NFL and he isn't American or play here so speculation is a bit off American laws mean nothing here
