Former Cleveland Browns defensive end Carl Nassib announced Monday that he is gay and becomes the first active player in the NFL to come out
It really is unfortunate that it took until 2021 for a player to feel comfortable enough to admit this, but former Cleveland Browns and current Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib announced on his Instagram account Monday that he’s gay.
Nassib, who was drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft by Cleveland, said he’s “agonized over this moment for the last 15 years” before thanking his coaches and the NFL for their support.
