Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall added a hilarious dynamic to the discussion of Adderall use across the NFL on Wednesday when he told reporters it is not the only prescription drug he has heard of players abusing. According to Marshall, some players have used Viagra as a performance-enhancer on the field as well.
Marshall’s comments caused many of us to unwillingly picture what the gridiron would look like if players were hopped up on Viagra. Based on what we know about the little blue pill, I’m not sure how this would work. Neither is Marshall’s teammate, linebacker Lance Briggs.
Lance Briggs asked if players use Viagra to get an edge as Brandon Marshall said: “There would be a lot of dangerous boners on the field.”

My thoughts exactly. Even if there was some sort of benefit to popping a Viagra before a game, I would think the cons would outweigh the pros by a significant amount. But hey, you never know what the kids are doing these days.
