MS News & Perspectives

Jenn Powell speaks with MS Influencer, Tyler Campbell


Listen Later

In 2007, Tyler Campbell, son of Hall of Fame legend, Earl Campbell, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis while playing football at San Diego State University. He continued to play football while keeping his diagnosis a secret. Unfortunately, shortly after his NFL Pro Day at San Diego, Tyler experienced a major setback that landed him in the hospital and in a wheelchair, unable to walk. After this episode, Tyler’s neurologist permanently sidelined his dreams of playing in the NFL.
However, Tyler believed that when one door closes, another opens. And it did. Tyler has been an instrumental figure in helping the greater MS community manage this disease. His candor is refreshing. Join Jenn and Tyler as they discuss Tyler’s early symptoms and diagnosis, how he adjusted to being a champion off the field, and how he continues to touch, move, and inspire through sharing the realities of life with MS.
