He is best known for making the NFL after surviving cancer while a star football player for Boston College University

Mark Herzlich Jr. is a former professional football player and current sports commentator, best known for his time as a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL).

After undergoing extensive treatment, including chemotherapy and surgery, he made a remarkable comeback to the Boston College football team in 2010.
