Lyle Alzado
The name “Lyle Alzado” might not be one current football viewers are familiar with, but in his day, he was one of the most feared defensive players in the NFL. Unfortunately, much of his ferocity and aggression continued off the field, as well. This was a direct result of years of extensive steroid-abuse. Alzado reached the peak of his abuse when he was spending around $30,000 a year on steroids, which subsequently cost him his marriage, his reputation, and eventually, his life in 1992, at the young age of 43.
