Patriots safety Patrick Chung says his decision to opt out of the 2020 NFL season was “tough,” but he ultimately chose to do so because of circumstances involving his family.
“I just felt like this was the best decision for my family to keep everyone safe,” Chung said. “I don’t think it’s fair to them. I decided to do that. It’s not over; it’s just postponed a little bit.”
In an interview with “CBS This Morning” Wednesday, Chung explained that his girlfriend is pregnant with a baby girl, his 9-year-old son has “a little asthma,” and his father is 75 years old.
