He had an amazing record-setting career in college but fell to his addiction soon after and shares his experiences and journey through his addiction. Montee is a recovery coach and has a passion to help adolescents with addiction and mental health. Join Dave and Montee as they talk about football, support on and off the field, and how Montee’s passion is helping others through their own journey.
