LaMorris Crawford, the Cincinnati Bengals' team chaplain, said he thought he was "going to die" after contracting the coronavirus in March and experiencing extreme symptoms.
Crawford told Tyler Dragon of the Cincinnati Enquirer he started feeling sick on March 17, and three days later he found himself lying on his bathroom floor in dire shape.
"I literally thought I was going to die. I couldn't move," he said. "I had a loss of smell, high fever, chills, loss of taste and fatigue."
Crawford went to the hospital twice over the next four days and later received a positive test result for COVID-19, per Dragon.
