Darren Waller says he became addicted to painkillers at 15 and failed at least 100 NFL drug tests “For me it started when I was 15. I took painkillers for the first time, like Oxy, anything you get after a surgery, and I was hooked from there because at that time football wasn't really popping. I was riding the bench on the freshman team, or if I was playing, I got hurt. I was in a cast all the time, so people were kind of making fun of me for that. I had put my identity in football, so when it wasn't working, I came across those pills and I was like, ‘This makes me feel good. Nothing else makes me feel like this.’ From there, I never stopped.

I came into the league in the drug program because I failed two tests in college. I was about to get kicked out of college, and you get 10 tests a month in the NFL drug program. Two weeks of two tests is four. Two weeks of three tests is six. Six plus four is 10. I'm getting tested that many times a month, and I'm still taking drugs. Sometimes I'd drink a couple detox drinks in a day, sit in the sauna for an hour and a half, drink gallons of water, and see if I could beat it. It became like a sick game almost” “It's like a war on the inside, like Lord of the Rings where they're running down the hill at each other. It's like a war going on inside. I don't want to let these people down. I want people to think I'm this or that, but at the same time, I can't stop. I need this to function and just be at peace instead of completely psyching myself out. It's just a constant push and pull”
