Why did the 33-year-old have shared his bodily injury journey? Now, outside, he wants to be the voice of players who are going through similar situations in the NFL today.

“Now that I have finished, I would like to start sharing more of my stories because there are players who actively play who face similar situations,” he told PK Press Club Digital on Friday at Fanatics Fest.
“So, I want to be a voice for them and allow fans to know that they cannot necessarily talk about their injury. Because you never want to have these integrated excuses before a match, like” I lost for this game because of my knee “. Do you know what I mean?

For NFL fans, he sometimes gets lost in the heat of competition and highlights play how the season of more than 17 games can take the body of a player, in particular a line player like Armstead. Years of training and competition on the grill are wreaking havoc, and Armstead said that his illness was a knee injury that he has constantly had to fight for his third year in the league.
“I have not seen a training ground at all, and not because I did not want or that the Dolphins just wanted me to rest. It is as if I could literally not walk,” he said during an appearance in the “Nightcap Show”.

“After a match on Sunday, I could not walk alone, under my own power, before Wednesday, Thursday. So, I could only play under painting against pain. I could not put pressure on my knee, so it was, I can’t continue to do.”
So, no, Armstead will not be one of those retirees who will want to return to the field by week 1.
“I think I’m done, I’m at peace. I am delighted to be on this side to talk about the game, share my knowledge and my experience.

“After having been in the match for so long and playing football for so long for five years, it’s definitely soft-man. This is my first year without that after 28 years, so I will see what this life will look like without football. I am so grateful and grateful for that, but I am excited for my future.”
Although he can be on the sidelines, Armstead always wants to have an impact on the game he likes very much, especially for players who continue to put their bodies at stake each year to drive out a super bowl title alongside their teammates.
