Former NFL star Isaac Rochell got real about the mental health struggles he faced while playing professional football. During his Wednesday, March 11, appearance on the "Real Pod" podcast, the former athlete said his struggles started while playing college football. Rochell, 30, recalled the "dark" days as a D1 athlete at the University of Notre Dame. However, things got worse when he was playing professionally. "I think your fight or flight that you develop in college just carries over," Rochell explained.
