Randy Grimes, second round draft pick into the NFL, hit the lottery when his dream of playing professional football became a reality. Little did he know that the following decade would be the greatest years of his life but shortly after he would find himself living in the worst years of his life.
This is a story of adversity in so many ways where Randy discusses with Amanda and Blake how he found himself in the NFL, how he became addicted to prescription drugs, and how he found recovery 20 years later.
Randy is an incredible man and we are delighted to share his story with you.
