Playing in the NFL requires talent, dedication and, above all, heart. Robert Lyles spent eight seasons in the NFL, including two as a linebacker for the Atlanta Falcons, giving everything he had to the gridiron. Now, the 61-year-old Lyles and his family are asking others to give to help save his life.
A GoFundMe page has been created by Randy Carodine, who identifies himself as Lyles’s brother, on behalf of Delisa Lyles, Robert’s daughter. In the intro to the page, titled “A HEART FOR ROBERT,” Carodine asks for immediate help to raise $100k to assist in a heart transplant for Lyles.
