To Be Honest, Al Chesley says he doesn't know how much the terrible secret he kept within affected his life.
The former Eagles linebacker won't say it was the root of the alcohol and drug abuse that might have cut short his NFL career.
He doesn't know how much it contributed to his issues with anger management or with authority figures. He doesn't know if it caused him to be a womanizer.
All Chesley knows is that after 37 years of hiding, fearing, feeling ashamed, the last 3 months have started the healing process, and he wants to let others who may be suffering like he had know that help is available.
Sexual abuse even happens to future NFL players, if you were abused then get help. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
