Oher Eventually Made Peace With The Movie
Michael Oher wasn’t a fan of “The Blind Side” when it was first released because it detracted from talk about his NFL career. However, during an ESPN interview in 2016, he came to terms with the movie.

“I Guess It’s A Good Story. It’s A Great Story”
He stated in the interview, “I guess it’s a good story. It’s a great story,” he said. “They [Touhy’s] helped me to get this point from what I can tell. They’re my family and without them, I wouldn’t be here. They taught me a lot of things, showed me a lot of different things. It shows that if you help somebody and give somebody a chance and don’t judge people look where they can get to.”
