According to ProFootballTalk.com Illinois cornerback Vontae Davis and USC Linebackers Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews do not appear on the much-vaunted list of players who tested positive for illegal substances (marijuana for Davis and steroids for Cushing and Matthews, reportedly) at the NFL combine.
The list has apparently been significantly trimmed from the originally reported number of 25 to a much more palatable 8 or 9.
The players go into the combine knowing they will be tested (or at least they should) and Mike Florio of PFT has pointed out about 50 times in the last month that you'd have to be a colossal idiot to show up to the combine with steroids or marijuana in your system.

No matter how many times I re-do my mock draft, the answer is always the same. Virginia linebacker Clint Sintim falls to the Pats. I’ve just completed my third edition and for the third time Sintim is the logical 23rd pick overall. Is that a bad thing? No. Sintim sounds like a fit.
