In October 2018, Roman told shocked fans he received his first leukemia diagnosis at 22. “I was able to put it in remission, but I’m not gonna lie: that was the hardest time of my life,” he recalled. “ I didn’t have a job, I didn’t have any money, I didn’t have a home and I had a baby on the way, and football was done with me.”
