Oh wait, we're talking about… a Cincyjungle deep dive? Paint the endzones! :lol:

Here’s a bit of background I could find about Billy being unhappy early on at OSU, but it seems like winning a NC and a tree in Buckeye Grove and the Rimington and setting the games-started record on the way to being a 1st rounder smoothed it out for him.

It's why Price hated football his first year in Columbus, while redshirting in 2013.

"I hated football. I hated it," Price said. "I didn't want to be here. I didn't like any of it. I didn't like any of the coaches. I didn't like being here, period."

BILLY PRICE RECOVERING FROM PULMONARY EMBOLISM, ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT FROM PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL​

147293_h.jpg


Former Ohio State guard/center Billy Price announced via Instagram on Saturday morning that he is recovering from a pulmonary embolism suffered in late April and will be forced to retire from professional football.

In the blink of an eye, everything can be taken away. On April 24th I had emergency pulmonary embolism surgery to remove a saddle clot that was entering both of my lungs. As a healthy 29 year old, an unprovoked pulmonary embolism with no further medical explanation is terrifying. I am truly thankful to be alive today. Unfortunately, I will be retiring from the NFL as the risk of an internal bleed while on blood thinners creates tremendous risk.

I am truly thankful for the opportunity to have played in some of the greatest atmospheres around the world. I am thankful to have trained and played alongside men who will continue to make Pro Bowls, All Pro Rosters and Hall of Fame recognitions.

To my wife: this career would not have been possible without your continued love and support. The sacrifices you have made over the course of my career do not go unnoticed. I cannot wait to navigate the next chapter in life with you as we continue to grow our family.
