## Resource

After retiring from the NFL, Darren Waller returned this season a better man. The Miami Dolphins' tight end shies away from nothing with Dan Le Batard on how he's grown from his early identity struggles, the ups and downs in his battle with addiction, and losing his passion for the game. Now, he finds himself back on the field in the NFL, using the tools he's assembled through therapy and hard work to have a better life, with a rekindled passion for football. Waller also gets into the power of music to heal.... and how he processed the public reaction to his rap music video. With hard times behind him, he looks to the future and explains where he's at in his decision to continue playing in the NFL. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
