Carl Nassib made NFL history not with a touchdown, but with a truth. When he came out as gay in 2021, he shattered one of the final barriers in professional sports doing it not for headlines, but to live openly and lead by example. Breaking the Line tells the full story of the All-American walk-on turned NFL standout who redefined what strength looks like on and off the field.
From his gritty rise through Penn State, to earning NFL Defensive Player of the Week, to becoming the league's first active openly gay player, Nassib's journey is as much about courage as it is about football. This isn't just a story of coming out. It's about standing up. Facing down stereotypes. And changing the game for good.
Raw, real, and unapologetically bold, Breaking the Line is a playbook for living with purpose and owning your story no matter the pressure.
