Monday 8, December - 11:30am Ngata: Thanksgiving, Family Fatigue Led To Adderall Use Ngata used Adderall because he needed a boost at home during the holidays, reports CBSSports’s Jason La Canfora. “He told the [Ravens and NFLPA] privately that, with three small children at home and feeling the grind of the season, he took the drug to be in a better state of mind to help with them around the house and tend to them,” La Canfora wrote. “The drug, often used by college students to boost their energy and clarity as they pull all-nighters to study for exams, is banned by the NFL as a substance of abuse unless a player has a medical waiver to stipulate he is using it for ADD or some other behavioral issue.” Per La Canfora, the reason why NFL players use the drug is because they need to get more amped and focused for the game. “While Ngatas version of events will surely draw some skepticism, his interactions with the Ravens were very positive all week, sources said, with General Manager Ozzie Newsome having considerable dialogue with the star defender and his representatives this week,” La Canfora added.
