Four-time Pro Bowler and former NFL running back Corey Dillon won a ring in Super Bowl XXXIX with the New England Patriots. But among all the victories, he was bound to lose a couple along the way.

Such is the case as Dillon picks up the pieces from his divorce. The split forced the sale of the house in Calabasas, CA, he and his ex-wife owned. The sumptuous Southern California mansion is now on the market for $2.25 million.

The 5,024-square-foot house sits on a half-acre lot and features five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The chef’s kitchen includes an eat-in breakfast area, pantry, butler’s nook, gorgeous cabinetry and countertops, and center island with a separate sink.

The first floor features a family room and staff room. Upstairs, there’s a master bedroom with a walk-in closet, private office,  private balcony, and dual fireplace. There’s also a media room, entertainment area, and gym.

Outside, there’s a Tiki bar and barbecue area (which seems to be a theme among NFL players) and a gorgeous rock pool with waterfall, slide, and spa. A half-court basketball court and a four-hole putting green round out the exterior—just in case juking and stiff-arming down a football field gets tiring.

Dillon played college football at the University of Washington before getting drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in 1997. He was a stalwart at running back for seven seasons with the Bengals and remains the franchise’s leading rusher of all time. In 2004, he joined the Patriots, and his powerful running style was exactly what New England needed to notch its third Super Bowl championship.
