Foster Moreau nearly played for his hometown New Orleans Saints, but a life-changing diagnosis for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma has him changing priorities. The former Las Vegas Raiders and LSU Tigers tight end spoke about his experience on The Adam Schefter Podcast, detailing the process that led to his diagnosis, the challenges ahead of him, and the reasons for optimism that are fueling him.
Moreau compared the physical he went through with the Cincinnati Bengals, which was focused more on football concerns like his knees and other joints, and past injuries, with what he described as more of a “family doctor” exam with the Saints medical staff. While the Bengals medical team cleared him, the Saints doctor picked up on it right away: “The first thing he touches, I swear to you, is my lymph node in my left collarbone. And it’s shocking to him how swollen this thing is. We need to check this out, he says, this thing’s the size of a golf ball.”
