On Monday night, Jammer went on a posting binge, revealing details about his life both during and after his playing career. Jammer acknowledged playing while intoxicated on several occasions in the posts.
Jammer penned:
‘Man I drank whole game and all the way home.’, ‘Trust me 100% of u all would’ve done the same.’
‘I would try to shake myself out of it, get the cobwebs out and just think,’
‘But there were so many things to deal with, so much was going through my head. I couldn’t focus. I’ve always been a resilient guy.
‘You get knocked down, you jump back up. But I never thought I’d come out the end of this … The only thing you can think of is the bad (stuff).’
As admirers kept asking him questions, Jammer, 46, added more information in subsequent tweets. According to the former defensive back, he has been clean for the past two years. He told supporters that he started drinking a lot during his divorce and that he liked “good” bourbon or tequila.
After being selected No. 5 overall in the 2002 NFL Draft, Jammer played his first 11 years with the Chargers before finishing his career with the Broncos in 2013. In 183 games, he recorded 21 interceptions.
