My ex girlfriends grandma lived across the street from him, he was working out and staying in shape until about 2018. He said that he wanted to come back to the nfl when all the health issues cleared up. Never got to ask him why he didn’t, last time I talked to him was when he helped me move a couch into ol grandmas house. He’s actually a pretty down to earth dude.

[@ericdiaz5511]

Justin Ward You can’t prove he’s lying or if he’s actually telling the truth.

[@ericdiaz5511]

Justin Ward then why make the comment intending he’s lying when you clearly said you do not care, you’re only contradicting your statement.

Just wanted to say I always loved ur channel and remember all the NCAA dynasties with UTEP and all of those. I always thought u need more credit bc of the backstories u provided and how creative u were with the stories on your RTG series’s. Just seeing u with 300k subs now puts a smile on my face and I hope u continue to grow in the future Love, an OG Fan

what happened to michael oher? the dude from the Blindside

[@kenxo812]

He was on the Panthers

[@notzay3078]

Think he left Panthers or got hurt

[@RGsmokinthathunnitHMNdawgpound]

Ikr

[@abf2k796]

TheShinyPkm He bit his uber driver and that was pretty much the end

[@niirvash]

Im a Panther fan, yea he was with the Ravens first and won a ring with them in 2012 season. Eventually he ended up on the Panthers and was a pretty intergral part of our Oline in our 17-2 super bowl run in 2015 season. I think in 2016 he had multiple concussions early on, and had some very serious problems from them. It got to the point where the team was just holding him out of games indefinitely because he could not pass the concussion protocol. At one point he posted a picture on social media with a bunch of prescription pill bottles on a table and a message something a long the lines of "All for my head..SMH." He failed a physical the summer after our 2016 season and Panthers released him. There was also a story that got out during the 2016 season he had some sort of altercation with an uber driver and that did not help his case either . Combination of the concussion problems and that behavior probably led to his release. I think he's a free agent now but I dont believe any team picked him up in the 2017 or 2018 seasons. No idea whats hes been doing recently or if his concussion problems eventually got resolved.
