ORLANDO, Fla., June 18 (UPI) -- Former NFL running back Travis Henry made millions dodging the defense but Florida child support records indicate he also fathered a lot of babies.

The 30-year-old Polk County, Fla., native who played with the Denver Broncos, Tennessee Titans and Buffalo Bills, publicly acknowledges nine children -- with different mothers.

But, a Central Florida woman says that number should be 11. Henry, she charges, also is the father of her 18-month-old twins.

Henry hasn't been ordered to pay support to the twins' mother but he owes more than $11,000 in two other child support cases, The Orlando Sentinel reported. Henry, who recently pleaded guilty to a federal drug charge, isn't current with any of his child-support payments, which are estimated to total $15,000 a month. And he is broke, the Sentinel says.

According to his 2008 financial affidavit, Henry had other expenses including $1,100 to talk on the phone, $2,500 for clothes, another $2,500 for entertainment and about $1,500 on gifts. He also owed $100,000 to lawyers and $140,000 to a jeweler.
