Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst has come a long way.
Right now, he is an NFL tight end playing on an $11 million contract as a key cog in the league’s top-ranked offense from last year. According to recent interviews, however, he was in a much, much darker place just four years ago.
Hurst told First Coast News on Monday that he attempted suicide in January 2016:
"I woke up in the hospital," he recalled. "I didn't know what happened. I had to have a friend fill me in. Apparently, I had been drinking and went into my apartment and cut my wrist.
