Michael Oher's NFL journey has been tremendously inspirational. Prior to his NFL career, he had to overcome adversity and difficulty and was featured in Michael Lewis's 2006 novel The Blind Side: The Evolution Of A Game.

The work so accurately represented Oher's life that a desire to direct a film was felt. In 2009, an inspirational sports film telling the tale of an adolescent Michael and how he became a great NFL player was released in theaters.

A Tennessee woman (Leigh Anne Tuohy) and her family adopted a homeless 17-year-old named Michael Oher. She oversaw his skills and cultivated his ability to play football, which earned him a spot at the University of Mississippi for Ole Miss.

Oher spent a year with the Tennessee Titans in 2014 before moving on to the Carolina Panthers for the next two seasons. He and the Panthers got another opportunity at a Super Bowl triumph in February 2016, but were beaten by the Denver Broncos 24-10.

Due to injuries, Oher only started three games in 2016 and was eventually released by the Panthers, therefore ending his NFL career.
