The post-playing lives of some NFL players are usually riddled with chronic pain and person demons. For the once-beloved William Perry, the story is no different.
The former Chicago Bears defensive tackle, who is now 53, has ballooned to well over 400 pounds. He's ignored the advice of doctors, who have told him to stop drinking and Perry nearly lost his foot in January because of an infection in one of his legs. Perry has lost nearly all of the millions of dollars he earned over his 10-year NFL career and was forced to sell his Super Bowl XX championship ring last summer.
