Kenny Vaccaro: Adderall suspension 'dumb mistake,' let teammates down

METAIRIE, La. -- Kenny Vaccaro said he felt like he let his teammates down when he was suspended over the final four games of the season due to a positive test for Adderall.

Especially since the New Orleans Saints safety said he was probably having the best season of his four-year career.

"To be honest, I just made a mistake," Vaccaro told ESPN in his first interview since the suspension.

Vaccaro said he did take Adderall, which is a stimulant banned by the NFL without a proper prescription. But he insisted it was not any kind of performance enhancer.
