For most NFL players, their pregame routine involves stretching, maybe seeing the trainer, listening to a couple songs to get them pumped and ready for kickoff. For former defensive lineman Derek Wolfe, he had a different method. Appearing on a recent episode of the Joe Rogan podcast, Wolfe said he microdosed mushrooms before games.
“Before games, I was taking microdoses,” Wolfe told Rogan. “So I’m microdosed…I’m fucking taking mushrooms and fucking Adderall. Before I play.”
Wolfe didn’t specify when that began or if he did it for every single game. But he explained its benefits to help himself lock in before kickoff.
