Tony Savage, former defensive tackle for the San Diego Chargers, discusses how he turned his private battle with breast cancer to a beacon for other men who are diagnosed.

The odds of making it to the NFL out of college is less than 1.5 percent. The odds of being a man who develops breast cancer is even less than 1 percent. For better or worse Tony Savage has been defying odds his entire life. After being cut by the NY Jets, Savage packed his bags and joined the San Diego Chargers.
