Brandon Marshall, NFL Player and Founder, Project 375

Everything changed in 2011 when Brandon Marshall was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. While he triumphed under the stadium lights as one of the best wide receivers in professional football, his personal life was in turmoil. For years, he struggled with the emotional instability that had crept its way into his life; most importantly his relationships and his career. With a diagnosis in hand, All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall was ready to face a different type of opponent.
