00:00If your idea of an athlete's life is all touchdowns and trophies, you're missing the
00:04real story. If your struggles are invisible, you're not alone. Kieran Lacey's journey was
00:09about much more than football. At just 24, former LSU wide receiver Kieran Lacey lost his life in
00:15April 2025 after a police pursuit ended in tragedy. Months earlier, he was involved in a fatal crash
00:22and quickly became the focus of legal charges, media coverage, and public judgment. Even as
00:27new evidence later suggested he may not have caused the accident. Despite never being formally
00:33charged, Lacey's NFL dreams were cut short, and the weight of public scrutiny took a toll on his
00:38mental health. His father now urges us all, take athlete mental health seriously. Kieran's legacy
00:45isn't just what he did on the field, it's a call for compassion, due process, and real support for
00:51those struggling behind the scenes. Don't forget his story.
