Michael Oher, the former NFL tackle whose life inspired “The Blind Side,” has previously tried to distance himself from the Oscar-nominated movie that catapulted him to fame.Oher, who was the 23rd overall pick in the 2009 draft out of Mississippi, wound up playing eight NFL seasons and started 110 career games.After being released by the Ravens, Oher signed a four-year, $20 million contract with the Tennessee Titans.
