By now, as an Ohio State football fan, you know well the story of former Buckeye offensive lineman Harry Miller. He came to Columbus as a five-star recruit, worked his way into a starting role and mysteriously fell off the depth chart last season.
We now know that was because of some very significant and serious mental health issues Miller was going through. He retired from football because of them and is using his experience to help others. It’s a brave, raw and honest way to make something of his life, and it’s an amazing story.
Fox did a piece on Miller with Tom Rinaldi, and it’s well worth a watch. There are some very real and disturbing conversations so tread lightly if you wouldn’t want to watch, but it’s a very well done
"He wants to shed light on depression, break the stigma and continue the conversation."

Thank goodness for Ryan Day and his emphasis on mental health. It’s an epidemic that isn’t talked about enough, but it sure is encouraging to see the support Miller and others are starting to receive.
We say share this with the right audience and someone that might benefit from knowing there’s help and compassion out there.
