Former Husker fullback Willie Miller has a story that could one day be made into a movie. You will hear much of the story by listening to this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by Betfred Sports.
When Miller graduated in 2000, he was in so much pain, and he knew that his football career was over. He needed surgery but was no longer a student-athlete; Nebraska was not going to pay for it even though his injuries were from him wearing the scarlet and cream.
Miller turned to painkillers. They worked. However, masking the pain doesn't solve the problem. In fact, it creates a bigger one. Addiction.
Massive weight gain, homelessness, disability, suicidal thoughts, and a near-death experience has Miller on the road to redemption.
He's fit, remarried, and now an operating room nurse at Methodist Hospital.
In this powerful hour-long plus, Miller is open and honest about the demons he's faced and offers hope to those who are going through a similar journey.
He's now becoming a resource for former athletes with Athletes Revived. Its mission is Keeping Hope Alive. In 2017, Miller got the surgery he desperately needed, thanks to the generosity of the Nebraska Greats Foundation.
