Former NFL linebacker Rolando McClain responds to report of poor workout with Ravens
Former NFL linebacker Rolando McClain reportedly struggled badly at a workout with the Baltimore Ravens Tuesday, failing to pass a conditioning test or participate in any on-field drills.
Tuesday evening, the No. 8 overall pick in 2010 logged onto Twitter to respond.
Football was easy. Life is hard. Gotta keep fighting tho

No excuse for my failures. My success no apologies. I that I owe is absolute honesty. Keep it 100, but that's what they all say... #Hustle

It's reassuring to see that McClain appears to be in a better place mentally than he was when he left the league a year ago, but it looks like a longshot that he'll ever play another down on Sundays.
