LAID-BACK OFF THE FIELD, NFL HALL OF FAMER WILLIE ROAF WAS ANYTHING BUT ON THE FIELD.
A relentless offensive tackle, during his collegiate career at Louisiana Tech University and throughout his 13 NFL seasons, Roaf manhandled bruising defenders whose sole focus was to take out his teammates.
One of the best offensive linemen to play professional football, Roaf was named first-team All-NFL seven times and was voted to the NFL Pro Bowl 11 of his 13 seasons. In 2012, Willie was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. He is one of only 346 players in the NFL’s 100 year history to receive such a prestigious honor.
"To be able to make it to the Hall of Fame coming from Pine Bluff, Arkansas is still unbelievable. To be a part of that fraternity, because of everything I was able to do on the football field is really special. It took a lot of hard work, but it paid off to make it into that top group of guys," says Roaf —who played for both the New Orleans Saints and Kansas City Chiefs between 1993 and 2005."
LIKE MANY ATHLETES WHO PLAYED PROFESSIONAL SPORTS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER RETIRING THAT ROAF FELT THE FULL TOLL THAT HIS FOOTBALL CAREER HAD ON HIS BODY AND MIND.
"When I retired, there was a big adjustment. I had major back surgery in 2013 that left me feeling lethargic and without a lot of energy. When we moved to Florida, the humidity helped my back and knees some, but my energy hadn't been where I'd like it to be."
One of our first NFL Former Player study participants, Roaf describes his experience using FOCUS Hemp Extract for the first time.
"I could tell the first time I took FOCUS I felt more alert, more honed in and zoned in. I was psyched to feel the effects and to see the data that showed FOCUS was boosting my alertness and brain activity with just one dropper full," he adds.
SINCE HIS FOCUS SCREENING IN JANUARY, ROAF HAS INCORPORATED OUR DAYTIME MIND AND BODY HEMP EXTRACT INTO HIS DAILY LIFE AND CREDITS IT FOR HELPING TO REVITALIZE HIS ENERGY AND ACTIVE LIFESTYLE.
"Since taking FOCUS I'm more active, my daily routine is a lot better, and I'm feeling better all around. When I take it consistently that's when I can really tell it's working. I notice a huge difference in how I feel and move when I don't take it, compared to when I take it every day. I also like it because of the taste. You can just take a dropper and go about your day. Other extracts you have to drink like a whole glass of water to get it down," says Roaf.
Roaf, who's had multiple knee and back injuries, has become a huge fan of Body Therapy hemp salve, which he says helps him to keep up with his workout routine and his three grandchildren.
"When I get up to go to the gym or get ready to run around, I like to use Body Therapy to help keep me loose. I rub it on my knees because I have some issues in both my knees and my back. It gets my joints going, and it doesn't have a strong odor like other rubs."
