Re: Reuben Foster
If we take Reuben at number 11 the organization better make damn sure they have the people in place to keep to keep him focused. I have already seen this story before in Dallas with what's happened to Gregory and Lawerence.
All the talent in the world won't matter if you can't pass a simple drug test. |

Re: Reuben Foster
He may not have failed a drug test in your eyes but in the eyes of the NFL this is essentially a failed test. That's why any player that tests positive for a diluted sample is automatically enrolled in the NFL drug program.

The players you named had real issues. |

I seriously doubt he does that though because it could reveal other substances that could be banned. So given that, I would think long an hard about whether you can afford to take him at 11. Now if you want to take a chance on him at 32 or later I'm ok with that.

Re: Reuben Foster
The league is about to stop testing for weed anyway, as they should.

Being in the program really doesn't matter if you don't use and any diluted sample could simply trigger another test the next day which could clear things up.

At any rate, all I'm saying is if the bread smells funny and you eat the sandwich anyway don't blame the sandwhich that it made you sick when you could smell something was funny before you took that first bite. |
