Wolfe spent nine years in the NFL
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Derek Wolfe is clearly a savage on and off the field.
During his playing days, the former Denver Bronco says he got back on the field two weeks after being temporarily paralyzed. A few months ago, he killed a mountain lion with a bow and arrow.
But now, he's revealing one of his secrets that led to a Super Bowl championship and a nine-year career.

"Before games, I was taking microdoses. . . . I'm f---ing taking mushrooms and Adderall before I play," he said on Joe Rogan's podcast.
The mixture put Wolfe into an "out of control" focus, but he had one more trick up his own sleeve that helped him become a wrecking ball on the gridiron.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Dude, the f---ing focus is out of control. I would just, like, before games, I would get myself pissed off - so I just would start thinking about my childhood, all the s--t I went through as a kid. And it would f---ing get me into this rage mode. It was like this crazy controlled rage," he continued.

SUPER BOWL CHAMPION REVEALS HE WAS 'TEMPORARILY PARALYZED' BUT STILL PLAYED TWO WEEKS LATER
"So Adderall, mushrooms and childhood rage altogether in a 280-pound savage," Rogan replied with a laugh.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Wolfe admitted that the concoctions produced some pretty crazy word vomit, as well.
"Just, f---ing, such a meathead. Saying wild, crazy s--t to quarterbacks. I told a guy I was going to f---ing eat his kids. It was crazy. . . .
"That's what you do, man. It's a head game. I'm trying to get in his head."
