Former Poland football star opens up about addiction – The Vindicator

By Justin Dennis

Former Kent State All-MAC safety Luke Wollet recalled his senior year as a standout athlete with early pro draft potential. It was the same year he used heroin for the first time.

“Sports was my first drug” – it helped him hide his insecurities, he said.

The New Orleans Saints picked him up in the 2014 draft “as a heroin addict,” Wollet said. He later left the NFL for rehab and has been clean for more than two years.

He’s now helping others find the same path.
