Aint it crazy how far an NFL prospect can fall over smoking pot?

Trent Williams had a dirty at the combine and went 4th overall

Rashaan Salaam & Kijana Carter. Ask them cats if smokin weed fuccued up their careers.

I don't get why nyggaz can't stop from smokin when u have millions of dollars on the table? Some nyggaz are just feinds for weed. That's the bottom line. Cats hate to admit it, but some people are just dopeheads and can't function without weed

to me thats on the person tho, just like u can abuse pretty much ANYTHING (alcohol, tobacco, those computer cleaners, fukkin fast food lol)...im not gonna make a whole big defense as i see im the only one on this side and have conceded that weed is illegal therefore should be banned by the nfl.

but i cant get past the hypocrisy of the NFL "ignoring" other drugs i mentioned before (steroids/PEDs) or letting a player play injured and then coming down hard on people who smoke bud. Either way i agree that the rules are set before these guys and if they cant abide by them then theyre morons for what theyre givin up...retire at 30-somethin and smoke all the bud u want after brehs...

edit: btw while im in here posting about weed like this...im like 4 days sober brehs....probably why my posts are shootin up


dont even ask me how :hov:

I bet nearly 70% of college players smoke weed.

The shyt is a joke, I understand the rules in place but that doesn't take away my disapproval of it. It's a lot riskier for these guys to suit up for practice than it is to hit some green.

Changes need to come, and soon.

Owners and coaches kids out there sniffin that white while they concern themselves with prospects who may smoke a lil

to be fairly unfair, theyre in a position where they can do that, fukkin cacs

whereas a lot of these college athletes dont come from MONEY and need to be successful at sports to get THAT MONEY..if u know what im saying..

But thats exactly it. They are owner and coaches sons. They arent on the field.

What about the health effects of weed? Owners and coaches want productivity. If a clean lung performs better than a tainted lung, I want to pay millions for the clean one.









Just saying

These cats deserve to fall in the draft for not stopping just for a while in order to get drafted as high as they can. I't stop smoking for a while if it meant i was about to be a millionaire.

Sure it’s stupid for players to leave money on the table by smoking pot and getting caught up but how stupid are the teams for passing on these players over a harmless habit? where are the repercussions for drafting Percy Harvin, Aaron Hernandez, Randy Moss, Michael Irvin or Warren Sapp? is there really a bad history of dope smoking players causing problems in the NFL?

Sometimes these cacs put too much emphasis on little things and pass up on the greats...

Well, first off, possession of pot is a crime (at least it was until this year, two states, it is legal). So you don't want someone on your team who is committing a misdemeanor crime.

There are only 32 NFL teams. Big picture wise, there is a huge number of eligible players in NCAA Div I football teams every year, plus some superstar high school players. All these eligible players are vying for a small number of open spots. If they don't make it, they go to CFL, arena football, or move onto a non-football career.

So, NFL teams weed out problem players, not just pot use, but other crimes. Crime equals team problems. You only have 17 regular season games, do you want your high-dollar running back to be in jail during game time? No. Even if you bail him out, it's just a team administration/PR headache. Team owners and the league want to project themselves not only as a professional organization where they provide sports entertainment but an organization that gives back to the community and have players who can be seen as heros and mentors, not a group of f-ups (pardon my French).
What to do? Weed out problem players at the start.

As a hypothetical situation, there is only team in the NFL with an opening for the tight end position. All other teams have either traded for other free agents or kept their existing tight ends. You have ten players who just graduated from top NCAA football programs and have good stats. Of these ten players, you have one pot-smoker. Of these ten players, you can pick three guys to show at your combine. Do you really think it is easier to choose among the other nine? It's a no-brainer. So from a player's perspective, you are up against a lot of competition. There's no reason to risk your future over something that will give others a leg up on you.

damn that was extremely well said and Im pro-weed.

bottom line is unless the prospect is just cant miss type of guy, having weed problems history weeds you out

they dont care as much if youve done it in the past without getting into trouble. they know lots of people who go to college have smoked it. its how responsible you are with it
