I don't think he ever said it should be legal. He was saying that half the league (a euphamism) takes it legally because they are prescribed adderall.
There's actually two issues here. One is that adderall can be prescribed and some use it legally in the league, while others don't use it prescribed.
The second issue, and the more thorny one in my opinion, is that we don't really know if any of these "adderall" cases really are adderall. First, the NFL never lists the substance involved. I believe that agents and others are the ones that leak out the "substance" which they might say is adderall, but might be steroids for all we know. Also, I've recently heard talk that adderall might be used as a masking agent for steroids, though I don't really think it is. It's masking, but more as a "not so bad" PED when compared to steroids, so that's just what the player is going to say he takes since the NFL can't refute that.
Then there's HGH, which isn't even tested at all these days. I really do wonder how many NFL players use HGH at this time.
