Former Washington Huskies wide receiver Isaiah Renfro took a few weeks to arrive at the decision to share his depression with the world.
He wrote one message on his Instagram page, ran it by a few friends, and then got even more nervous. He threw that version away and went over in his mind again if he really wanted to bare his soul about his depression and stepping away from college football. He knew the stigma. He knew what people might say. He didn't want to be deemed a quitter for something that was beyond his control.
