While at training camp with his current team, the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday, Oher was involved in a fight with defensive end Kony Ealy. When asked if the fight has something to do with proving its value after the back-to-back seasons Wrestling, Oher pinned his problems on the film. "I'm not trying to prove anything," Oher Told ESPN. "People look at me, and they take things away from me by a film. They do not really see the skills and the kind of player I am. That's why I get so much degraded as a result of something outside the field.
"This stuff, call me a bust, people say if I can play or not, that has nothing to do with football. It's something different off the field. That's why I do not like that movie. "
Oher It went on to say in his position players are often overlooked, but because I film an ongoing basis. "Nobody pays attention to the offensive line. But me? I'm looking for anything.

"Kony is a young guy who is learning and trying to learn how to go," Rivera said of the fight. "Michael is a veteran guy. It's kind of the older young bear poking the bear.
'I was disappointed. The heat, fatigue or what have you, there is no place for fighting. Both guys I talked to privately and made sure they understood how I felt about it. ''
