Former NFL linebacker Geno Hayes is reportedly in hospice care following liver complications.
Hayes, 33, is currently at his mother’s home in Valdosta, Georgia, his high school coach Frankie Carroll told the Tallahassee Democrat. Carroll says he visited Hayes at the home last Sunday.
“Geno's in need of prayers. He’s fighting for his life,” Carroll said. “It’s tough. Geno’s a fun-loving guy.”
ESPN's Jenna Laine, who spoke with Hayes in March, reported that he went into a months-long depression over his health.
