I remember him coming home on break and just popping pills to chill out. I never doubted he was in some pain at any given moment, but it seemed a bit over done. He became fairly dependent on them for sometime until out of football and college. Realizing his issue he moved to weed. It has been a really helpful for him to work through constant pain in his joints and back (at age 28!). Hes had a successful career and it has had no determent on his personal life. It has only helped.
