Former NFL running back Montee Ball said he's been sober for over 450 days in his recovery from alcoholism and has returned to the University of Wisconsin to pursue a college degree.

On Thursday, Jesse Temple from Land of 10 passed along comments that the 2013 Denver Broncos' second-round pick made about moving forward with his life after football:

"Of course, I still have the what-ifs, if I didn't drink as much, where would I be? But the journey, the process that I'm in, is not to worry about that. It's very exciting to kind of figure myself out and figure out what else I'm really good at with my family behind me 100 percent.
