“Ex-NFL linebacker Sergio Kindle opens up about his battle with cancer as well as his career
“Ex-NFL linebacker Sergio Kindle opens up about one of the toughest battles of his life — his fight with cancer, and how he ultimately came out on the other side stronger.
Once known for delivering hits on the football field, Kindle found himself facing a completely different kind of opponent — one he couldn’t tackle, scheme against, or out-train. After experiencing ongoing stomach pain, he was eventually diagnosed with early-stage colon cancer. What followed was a life-changing journey filled with surgery, recovery, and reflection.
But because it was caught early, doctors were able to remove the tumor, and his outlook remains positive. No chemotherapy, no radiation — just healing, recovery, and a new perspective on life.
In this conversation, Sergio opens up about what it felt like to hear that diagnosis, how it impacted his family, and how it forced him to slow down and rethink everything — from football to faith to everyday gratitude.
