Former NFL tackle Michael Oher has shared his feelings about the movie ‘The Blind Side,’ which was inspired by his life, amid the ongoing drama with his adopted family.
Oher is not at all happy with the way he was portrayed in the film. He believes it made him seem dimwitted, although he went on to have a productive NFL career.
The former Ole Miss player was a first-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft and remained in the league until 2016, winning a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens.
Still, he reckons the film that told his life story negatively impacted him.
“The N.F.L. people were wondering if I could read a playbook,” he said in an interview with the New York Times.
