In a series of tweets, former NFL full back Le’Ron McClain explains that he needs help getting his head checked saying
“I have to get my head checked. Playing fullback since high school. Its takes too fucking much to do anything. My brain is fucking tired…. @NFL i need some help with this shyt. Dark times and its showing. Fucking help me please!! They dont care I had to get lawyers man!”
McClain spent 7 years in the NFL with the Chargers, Ravens, and Chiefs and made around $11 million.
Since his retirement the NFL has settled a $1 billion lawsuit where they offered to pay up to $5 million to former players who were dealing with football sustained injuries.
McClain stated that on some nights he’s not able to sleep and that his anxiety is high. He also says that if he was a QB that the NFL would have helped him already.
He did say that he had a moment, he’ll be good, and he’s going to keep fighting.
No matter what position he played the NFL should step in ASAP and help McClain so things don’t get worse.
