Trying to make a 53-man roster in the National Football League is tough. In fact, it is beyond tough, but when trying to do so with a non-forgiving condition like Type 1 Diabetes, it becomes even more of a challenge.
That is the case for Steelers’ defensive tackle Henry Mondeaux. Mondeaux, who was signed this offseason to a reserve contract, was diagnosed in High School, but is using his platform as a way to help kids who might be struggling with the same condition.
“It’s definitely something that I use to motivate me,” Mondeaux told Chris Adamski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
