Broncos Super Bowl winner Derek Wolfe reveals shocking details of pre-game drug usage
Derek Wolfe carved a great career for himself in the NFL, playing nine seasons. In a recent interview on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Wolfe shared how he would get ready to play games. More specifically, he shared how he used a combination of mushrooms and Adderall to get hyped.
Wolfe said:
"Before games, I was taking micro doses so I'm microdosed and I might like taking mushrooms before games so I'm taking mushrooms. Yeah I'm f**king taking mushrooms and Adderall."
He continued:
"The focus is out of control and I would just, like, before games. I would like get myself pissed off so I just would start thinking about my childhood. Like the s**t that I went through as a kid and they would f**cking get me in this rage mode now it was like this crazy controlled rage."
Derek Wolfe's pre-game ritual sounds shocking, but it's not the only shocking thing the former Cincinnati Bearcats star has done recently. In January of this year, Wolfe killed a mountain lion with a bow while in Colorado. The lion reportedly attacked the family dogs, hiding under a deck.
So, he and a hunting guide set forth and searched for the lion all through the snowy mountain. Wolfe noted that he shot the lion with a bow when they found it.
