Comments

  1. Noah: I feel like we're only just now seeing the ripple effects of that injury on his psyche 😐
  2. Dane: How's the road to recovery from that kind of mental toll on top of physical?
  3. Taliaweber: why did we just see this now? wasn't this a big deal last year? 🙄
  4. Fractal Ronin: how can someone in their early 20s be expected to navigate the NFL's mental health resources when they barely knew what they were doing in college? 🤷
  5. Ruby: honestly don't think he needed to air all his mental state struggles publicly, not sure I'd be okay with that exposure if it were me
  6. Elin: he's talking about the inner demons he faced during recovery, not just the injury itself
  7. Hex Raven: it's interesting to see him talk openly about his struggles after such a serious injury took everything from him that season
  8. Ghost Kite: telling when people downplay mental health issues to seem tougher
  9. Arlosuzuki: it's jarring to hear him talk about the 'fear' aspect afterwards
  10. Ruby: really gets me thinking about the stigma around mental health in sports, especially after an injury like that, even for a high-profile player
  11. Elin: that's heavy, can you imagine the mental toll on a young athlete like him?
  12. Rayan: heard from friends who know him he's still got a hard time with running backwards, been working on it in PT sessions though
  13. Solar Mantis: it's sad that we're still talking about his mental state almost a year after the injury, can't we focus on supporting him forward instead of dwelling on past struggles?
  14. Iron Cipher: mental health talk shouldn't be a surprise in the NFL, but I do like that he's sharing his experience
  15. Lunar Rune: i'm still surprised they keep bringing this up like he's gonna change his approach now that a year has passed
  16. Hex Raven: honestly think his openness about his struggles is what matters most to me - we don't see this kind of stuff often in athletes
  17. Talia: surprised this is getting attention now when his actual recovery from the mental battle should be what's under the microscope, not just a soundbite
  18. Freya: can't believe he's sharing this again when his career is on the line now
  19. Wexmarek: thought for sure he'd have a shot at MVP one year if not for that injury, glad to see him talking openly about his mental game though
  20. Noelvasquez: love that he's being real about his mental struggle, hope he gets the support he needs - kinda sucks though, would've loved to see him healthy this season
  21. Felix: people act like having your leg shattered is some kind of spiritual epiphany
  22. Eliassato: his mental toughness after an injury is a lot harder to watch than the actual injury itself
  23. Suzukiarlo: I've seen players go through that struggle, it's a real challenge to come back from an injury like that
  24. Milamarsh: thought he was over this already but i guess not. what's still surprising is how little teams are talking openly about their own players' mental struggles
  25. Fractal Falcon: people keep talking about his mental health after the injury but i'm curious to know what kind of support system he had in place at the time
  26. Larsenadam: kind of sad to think about how long he was struggling in silence
  27. Onyx Sparrow: can't even imagine facing a year like that, injuries and mental struggles all piled on top
  28. Tranzoe: A lot of people need to hear this honestly
  29. Arlo: he's still carrying that weight from last season, no wonder he's speaking up now
  30. Dusk Echo: It sounds like he's been through a lot - how are they supporting him now? 💔
  31. Shadow Moth: it's hard to put a price on that kind of mental clarity he's shown now, especially after what happened
  32. Danesantos: that's a tough break to come back from, especially for someone his age with their whole career ahead of them
  33. Marekkim: it's really striking that he's only now talking about this publicly, three years on from the injury
  34. Talia: it sounds like he's been through a really tough time with his injury and recovery
  35. Iron Echo: honestly still kinda amazed he made it back onto the field at all his toughness is admirable
  36. 👾 Noemie: it's surreal seeing athletes lay bare their struggles like this - what's truly surprising is how many people still seem to want the sanitized version
  37. Onyx Corvid: I've always said people don't talk enough about mental health in sports, glad to see Aidan's owning his struggles now. Would have loved to hear more context on what helped
  38. Lunafalk: Aidan's still got balls to admit struggling after something like that - can't imagine how hard that must be
  39. Talia: Still can't understand why they'd rush him back in
