Former NFL LB Colton Underwood spent one season in the NFL with two teams and didn’t play a game. He’s probably more known for being the leading man on the show ‘The Bachelor.’
While on the show, it was known that Colton was a virgin. He said that he was made fun of while playing and got called gay for it. While speaking to ET, Colton talks about what helped him figure out he wasn’t gay saying
“[The show taught me] that I’m straight and I’m very, very attracted to Cassie [Randolph] and women — but it would have been OK if it would have been the other way too,” he said. “I think that’s the biggest message I have for people.”
“If anybody takes anything from this or is going through this, if I help one young man or one young woman go through something that they’re struggling with — to let them know that they’re not alone — then I consider the book a huge success,”
It’s good that he figured that he’s not gay and is using this to help those in similar situations.
