Aqib Talib's projected draft position has been dropping allegedly because of his "multiple" instances of a fail drug test for marijuana. I don't know about where you come from, but marijuana is pretty common where I live, and almost completely legal. They might as well be asking, "have you ever consumed alcohol illegally or as a minor". One would think that a scary knee injury would make teams as scared as Scooby Doo from draftiing him. Nope, you smoke a little reefer and people completely freak out. I remember Warren Sapp's draft stock falling after similar reports came out prior to his draft. Warren is likely going to the HOF. I would even bet that many busts that are currently sitting in Canton, were of players that had smoke marijuana in their youth. Obviously, when you become a pro, you put all other things aside for the duration of your NFL career. I think 99% of all kids have chosen to do that. It's the Rickey Williams of the world that scare people, and he's actually crazy.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"I’m not saying this about McFadden, but, overall, it’s funny when you hear about some of these players smoked marijuana in their past. If we could only draft kids who had never smoked a joint in their lives, we’d all only be able to draft kids from BYU."</div> So true.
