In the upcoming episode of #AFootballLife, NFL Films explores #DexterManley, a legendary defensive end for the Washington Redskins whose promising career was haunted by his constant battle with drug addiction. Winning two #SuperBowls during the '80s, he dominated opponents on the field while endearing himself to fans everywhere. This success, however, was a distraction from the struggles that plagued him before, during, and after football. He had many obstacles to overcome, from a rough childhood to dealing with illiteracy and drug addiction into adulthood. His charm and energy hid building chaos in his life outside of football, which led to a ban from the #NFL in 1991. His post-football life was a difficult time for him as well, as he struggled to cope with the loss of his passion. To see how it has all unfolded, catch “Dexter Manley: A Football Life” #TONIGHT at 8pm/ET on NFLNetwork.
