Amid Dispute Over Being ‘Blindsided’, Michael Oher Tells His True Story from Orphan to Overcomer
Former NFL star Michael Oher is making headlines this week with a lawsuit filed against the Tuohy family. He and the family were the subjects of the hit film “The Blind Side”, but Oher is now speaking out against both on the heels of the release of his new book where he’s sharing lessons learned from a lifetime of adversity.
Oher is known for being an overcomer. He beat the odds, rising from homelessness to achieve eight seasons in the NFL as an offensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens, the Tennessee Titans, and the Carolina Panthers until an injury sidelined his football career in 2016. With a father lost to prison, and a mother lost to drugs, Oher’s orphan story is one many think they know.
“When I started this journey a long time ago, I was just chasing to be comfortable after I was done with football. My back was against the wall all my life. From the time I was three years old, my first memory was being homeless. Three to ten, I was in and out of foster care, shelters, on the streets,” he told CBN News.
