The post shows Michael Strahan posing in a smart blue blazer, a matching tie with a white chequered shirt underneath.

The NFL legend also wore blue trousers to complete the whole look. But it is the overlaid text on the image that might raise some eyebrows.

The text read as, “They said I had to hang up my jersey, so I picked up my blazer instead."

But that’s not all; the caption of the picture also speaks about his career post NFL. The caption reads as, "When one door closes…another one opens ��”

Michael Strahan had a pretty tough time in the last year with his daughter, Isabella Strahan’s cancer battle

Michael Strahan’s young daughter, Isabella Strahan, was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2023.

While Isabella Strahan has been able to beat it, in February 2025, in a new documentary, ABC special "Life Interrupted: Isabella Strahan's Fight to Beat Cancer”, Michael Strahan opened up about how he felt as his daughter was sick.

The NFL legend said, "As a parent, you're scared. Oh my, you're just scared…It never occurred to us that it would be cancer. I'll be honest with you, just looking at the trajectory at that point of her life -- and we have no history of anything bad in the family."
