CBD Helps Carson Palmer In Life After The NFL, And During The Coronavirus Pandemic

Towards the end of his NFL profession, veteran quarterback Carson Palmer was investing numerous hours every day off the field working on his body– either getting it prepared to play in a game or recovering after one. His day-to-day routine consisted of lifting in the weight space, doing footwork, rehabilitation, extending and working with the chiropractor.

After retiring at the age of 38 in January 2018, the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback wished for a much-needed break from the physical grind after 15 seasons in the league with the Cincinnati Bengals, Oakland Raiders and Arizona Cardinals that also included a variety of surgeries; he broke his arm in 2017 and tore his ACL in 2006 and2014 Palmer likewise struggled with persistent neck and pain in the back.

He rather preferred getting his exercise outside rather in the weight space, and being active with his 4 children. It wasn’t till recently while being instructed to remain in the house as a result of the coronavirus pandemic when his desire to lift returned.

” I had actually taken some time off then all of an unexpected this virus hit and for some factor it recharged me to lift once again,” Palmer, 40, stated.

Palmer relies on CBD to combat his pains and discomforts every day; he partnered with performance-based CBD sports cream Level Select in late2019 Cannabidiol (CBD) is among the hundreds of compounds that comprise cannabis. CBD, unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), does not offer users a “high” sensation, but some studies have showed it can provide relief for chronic discomfort, arthritis and even epilepsy, with more research needed.

While his playing days are a thing of the past, Palmer, who won the 2002 Heisman Trophy at USC, is prompting all professional athletes to take advantage of this enforced interruption in sports as a result of the pandemic. All 4 of the significant North American sports leagues (MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS) that needs to be in the middle of seasons are currently suspended forever.

” From an NFL perspective, all these men are usually getting prepared to load up and head back to their cities to start OTAs and lifting,” Palmer said.

The NFL is still performing offseason service— consisting of the 2020 NFL Draft from April 23-25– albeit differently as a result of government-mandated social distancing and stay-at-home directives.

2 of Palmers’ previous teams are making lots of noise this offseason with the Cardinals trading for four-time Pro Bowl pass receiver DeAndre Hopkins, and the Bengals poised to choose LSU quarterback Joe Burrow with the first-overall choice.

Palmer is confident in the rebuilding Cardinals, who went 5-10 -1 last season under first-year head coach Kliff Kingsbury and rookie quarterback Kyler Murray. Paired with relatively ageless wideout Larry Fitzgerald and running back Kenyan Drake on offense, the future looks intense for the Cards, according to Palmer.

” Offensively they have actually got what you need– they have actually got explosiveness, the cunning old veterinarian in Larry, pieces up front and a great young QB,” he stated. “Defensively they have two of the best players in football in Patrick Peterson and Chandler Jones.

” Their greatest problem is leaving their department, but they have the talent and the players to get it done.”
