Justin Forsett shocked to find out prisoners can play fantasy football

Baltimore Ravens running back Justin Forsett had an eye-opening visit to San Quentin prison recently.

While walking through the prison, Forsett was approached by a few inmates who told him that they had him on their fantasy teams last season. This came as a big surprise to him.

"I was like, 'WHAT, you all have fantasy football in here!?' It brings a new perspective to a season-ending injury when you have an inmate telling you he had you on his fantasy team ... and I know I didn't get any points for this guy," Forsett wrote in a blog post about the experience, published Monday.

"You know I had to apologize. It was a surreal experience that these guys know who you are and are playing fantasy football (I guess they get some type of good behavior privileges)."

Forsett said he found the entire experience enlightening, especially hearing the inmates' stories.

"I've spoken at jails and juvenile detention centers before, and I'd say this experience was particularly life-changing," he wrote. "I'll definitely be back."
