Free Agent Ryan Russell Comes Out as Bisexual, Hopeful for NFL Return

Free agent defensive end Ryan Russell is looking to return to the NFL and wants to move forward being more open about his life. In an interview with Outsports and a piece told to ESPN's Kevin Arnovitz, Russell announced that he is bisexual.

"Today, I have two goals: returning to the NFL, and living my life openly. I want to live my dream of playing the game I've worked my whole life to play, and being open about the person I've always been," he told ESPN.

"Those two objectives shouldn't be in conflict," he added.
