Steelers Lineman Admits He Struggled with Anxiety, 'Piss-Poor Attitude' in 2020

Last year was a struggle for players across the NFL, thanks to the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. But the season was especially trying for Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Chris Wormley, who was traded from the Baltimore Ravens to the Steelers in March 2020, just as the magnitude of the global health crisis was coming into focus. Then he suffered an injury during training camp, one that lingered into the season. Making matters worse, he suffered a knee injury against the Tennessee Titans in October, which led to a three-week stint on injured reserve, all of which compromised his on-field performance and left his NFL future in doubt.
