The pass rusher had time with the Oakland Raiders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Cleveland Browns. Earlier this year, in March, he was freed. During the 21\u201322 season, he participated in 13 <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/nfl\/stats\/players\">games<\/a> and recorded 21 tackles and 1.5 sacks. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The six-year NFL veteran has participated in 87 games and started 37 of them. 22 sacks and 4 forced fumbles are his career totals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nassib stated in his first interview after coming out that he did it primarily to &#8220;bring representation and attention&#8221; to the NFL. The LGBTQ community is underrepresented in the NFL, one of the most famous sports in the country. Being the first openly homosexual athlete in the NFL is &#8220;stressful,&#8221; he even admitted on a podcast with Darren Waller.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the fan reactions to this sweet gesture by Carl Nassib<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAwesome!
