Every year, a few of the draft’s top prospects appear on the confidential list for failed NFL Scouting Combine drug tests and FOXSports.com has learned the two biggest names for 2010: Georgia Tech running back Jonathan Dwyer and Southern California tight end Anthony McCoy. Dwyer tested positive in February for amphetamines, but this appears unlikely to hurt his standing as a late first-round/early second-round selection in this week’s draft. McCoy, who is projected as a second-day pick, tested positive for marijuana. Source: FOXSports.com
Not that I have a problem with anyone using drugs (especially marijuana) whatsoever so long as they aren't hurting anyone else and can still handle their business without being shady, but god**mn. You've been preparing for this one thing your whole life as a football player, it could very well determine how the rest of your life is going to be, and you can't quit smoking weed or doing dope for the freaking SINGLE MONTH it would take to give a clean piss test? Give me a break. As an NFL GM, I might not have a problem with the drug use itself, but I would sure as crap have my doubts about how seriously you are going to apply yourself to being a quality part of my team if you don't have the self-discipline and smarts to pass a drug test you've known you would be taking for the last 18-22 years. It's not like it was a random surprise test. **********Automerged Doublepost********** Hey BBB, you probably should have considered putting this part of the article in there too so people who didn't bother to read the whole thing don't get the mistaken impression that Dwyer is a tweeker or something. Not trying to knock your game, you do a fine job sir, just sayin'.:icon_redface:
Its cool Action Jackson. :icon_cool: I have to keep the three sentence rule in mind so I wasn't able to include any further information in the article.
Yeah that's nonsense and just lack of personal strength and commitment. Dwyer's amphetamine medication is most likely for ADHD or something, the solution of many doctors for a lot of young people (myself included) is to just put them on speed. They did it to me as a kid and it took a bit if growing up to decide it might not be the best medicine.
