You have to be kidding me. You are actually saying GMs draft players knowing they will most likely get suspended at some point and would rather draft someone that has a history of drug use as opposed to someone that threw their coaches under the bus, after a loss, when he is extremely emotional, and demonstrates he just wants to WIN? Yeah congratulations on having the most ridiculous statement on the internet today, and thats saying a lot.
Really? See Randy Gregory Demarcus Lawerence.
Smoking weed doesn't matter. A very large portion of every NFL roster smokes weed. The coaches know it, the owners know it, Roger Goodell knows it - and none of them care. MDMA probably matters less, because it is only testable a few days after usage. Now, being addicted to either substance is a different story.
Randy Gregory did not fall on draft day because he smoked wee. He fell because he failed a combine drug test. NFL players are given a heads up when a test is coming. They need to be able to pass those tests. A player failing a drug test at the combine is a clear sign that it could be an issue for them to do so.
Demarcus Lawerence failed for Adderall, so he's not really relevant to the conversation. He essentually used it as a PED or used it to mask PEDs.
NFL teams are looking to see if players are going to have trouble passing drug tests, which is different than looking for players how have taken drugs. That's the point the poster was making, and I agree with him. Does anyone here really believe that Elliot doesn't smoke weed? Or didn't at OSU, at least? Honestly? If you're dinging Bosa for drug use, it only makes sense to also ding Elliot.
As for Bosa's suspension, the team didn't share any details, so we don't know much. But we do know that it wasn't an NCAA test, or Bosa would have been suspsended for the season, most likely.
