Yes, the scammer had like 5 relatives in the league over the last few decades. He played high school ball and was pretty good but hated it.
Like I said in the other thread I could imagine a 6 month to maybe a year long relationship but 3 years of never meeting? The catfisher had a great scam going but 3 years just seems like at some point he'd wise up but that never happened. It messed with his head it ruined his NFL career. Lost all his confidence in who he was.
