Major champion Gary Woodland had brain surgery in 2023 to remove a tumor.
That tumor was pressing on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety.
A year ago, Woodland was diagnosed with PTSD that resulted from his surgery.
Earlier this month, he went public with his PTSD diagnosis to help himself and others.
Woodland is back in the winner's circle ❤️
#Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson:
“A lot of times, people can just look at us athletes as if everything is perfect in our lives. As if we got it all figured it out. But, we don’t. We’re people who go through things just like everyone else. We’re people who struggle just like everyone else as well. I wish people could see that more, but it’s kinda hard when people just see us as football players — when we’re humans just like everyone else. We’re no better than others just because of the fame, and the money, and things like that — and I try to help people understand that. In the eyes of God, God loves us all equally and we’re all equally valuable to him. And so, I wish people could see us more as humans instead of football players.”
