Justin Houston, Christian Ballard failed drug tests

[Hurricane Season]

Georgia defensive end Justin Houston and Iowa defensive tackle Christian Ballard both failed drug tests for marijuana at the NFL Scouting Combine according to Alex Marvez and Jay Glazer of FOX.

The information comes as news to us, but it’s possible teams have been aware of the result for a while now. Houston has been talked about as a potential late first-round draft pick, but the failure will be a red flag for teams that already questioned his snap-to-snap energy.

Ballard was projected as high as a second round pick by some draft analysts.

Plenty of players have been caught for smoking weed before and they still were drafted highly. Coaches know that a large segment of every team smokes, making the drug test at the Combine an intelligence test more than anything.

Houston and Ballard apparently failed that intelligence test. We don’t think it will completely ruin their stock on draft day, but it certainly won’t help.

No, weed smoking isn't a big deal. This however, shows how stupid they are.

Smoking weed when THEY KNOW they'll be tested at the combine.

Not smart one bit.

Also, whether or not smoking weed is a big deal, it's still against the NFL's substance abuse policy. Players can and will be suspended for this... so yeah, it kind of is a big deal.

Obviously, but assuming these guys aren't COMPLETE retards, they won't be testing positive again. Obviously their intelligence is in question because they tested positive here, but you'd have to think that they would learn from their mistake.
