FRISCO, Texas – Former NFL offensive lineman Mark Schlereth has advice for Travis Frederick as the Dallas Cowboys’ Pro Bowl center deals with Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
“I would say, 'Hey, man, take your time, and make sure that you’re right because that’s the most important thing: to be right,'” Schlereth said. “'Don’t rush it. Listen to your body because ultimately we’re talking about your career and longevity and your overall health. Not just this year.'”
Schlereth knows better than anybody what Guillain-Barré, an auto-immune disease that affects the nervous system, can do to somebody.
