Weed @ the combine

well these guys admitted it at least before it got leaked to the press & BTW why do they make a big deal out of this....YET when a player scores low on the wonderlic test or he doesn't do so well @ the combine.....it's not so much a big deal?

Pro Football Weekly report that three top prospects -- Georgia Tech WR Calvin Johnson, Clemson DE Gaines Adams and Louisville DT Amobi Okoye -- have admitted using marijuana strikes me as the kind of thing that has the potential to be overblown. I'm guessing the main difference between the players who tell their prospective employers they have smoked pot and the players who tell their prospective employers they haven't smoked pot is honesty.

Of course, the NFL tests for marijuana, and players who test positive multiple times can be suspended or even banned (just ask Ricky Williams). So NFL teams have every reason to be cautious about players who admit using drugs. They just shouldn't allow that caution to let them pass up on a potentially great player.

The Pro Football Weekly report says, "Such admissions are viewed indifferently by many teams' decision-makers who do not consider marijuana experimentation to be abnormal." That sounds like the right approach to me.
