SI. com is reporting a positive drug test at the combine. Yikes! What a complete fool. Do the Packers still draft him if he is there at 9? I doubt it.

Got to believe it was for weed.
I honestly don't know what I'd want TT to do if he's there at 9 now.Go PACK -
Weed, big deal. I'm great at my job and smoke all the time. 'Course, I make music ...

Weed made us and a lot of other teams pass on Warren Sapp--do you think Ron Wolf would have done that differently after a few years of watching Sapp play?[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.Comment

Take him anyway. Look at Michael Irvin, and tell me that using drugs will hinder your capabilities on a football field. You are kidding yourself if you do. Raji is gonna be a tremendous football player, regardless of this test, and regardless which team drafts him. So I still hope it's us that does so.Chuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

Right... If he ever gets on the field.Originally posted by Gunakor
Dude has already been tested positive once. This would be strike two.
Dumb people don't learn their lessons. Really dumb people don't learn their lessons when millions of dollars are at stake.
Are you telling me that you want such a dumb mother fucker that cannot quit smoking for a month or two so he can get drafted and get paid millions of dollars?
What makes you think he'll ever be able to quit if he cannot quit for a month or two in order to be literally handed 5+ million dollars..
Big no thanks to this guy. No fucking way do I want him anywhere near the Packers. This guy has bust tattooed all over him.Comment

ugggggggg
what an idiot, why the hell would you smoke knowing damn well that you're going to be tested at the combine?Comment

Yeah, he looked like a sure fire bust at the Senior Bowl, and again at the Scouting Combine. Tattooed all over him.Originally posted by PartialChuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

Actually... He did very little during the senior bowl. Sure, he looked good during practice. Unfortunately for Raji practice != game, and there are many great practice players in the world.
At the scouting combine, he looked ok. He promised that he'd run a certain time to Mayock. He came off as very cocky and assure of himself imo. He failed to meet his promised expectations both times. Do you really want someone who makes outrageous claims without backing them up? What happens when he calls out Adrian Peterson?!?
With millions of dollars on the line, knowing he'd be a professional athlete, he failed to take any personal responsibility and follow up with his advisors to make sure he'd have enough credits to be eligible to play. Another example of laziness. While I realize the advisor incorrectly advised him, all of the information is publicly available, and he didn't put forth any effort to double check. Where is the personal responsibility?!?
He has now been caught toking up twice, if the recent allegations are true. Two things come to mind here:
This guy has gotten caught twice now. He cannot quit even for a month to complete the combine and coast to the big pay day? Is that an unreasonable thing to do? Quick blazing up for a GD month in order to be handed a 5+ million dollar check?!? He cannot even manage that.
Secondly, what happens now that he has some money in his pocket. He'll be able to afford all the weed, or worse drugs that he wants. He's already shown he's going to smoke weed, even at risk of costing him millions of dollars.
Do you think he's going to stop once he gets into the NFL? No way. You have to work for that money. Hell, he has snubbed his nose to the NFL teams willing to pay him 5 mil+ guaranteed up front.
This guy is cooo cooo for coco puffs. It'd be one thing if weed was allowed by the NFL. Unfortunately, its not. He gets caught again and he'll be suspended 4 games. Another time, and I think he's done for a year.Comment

Well....actually he kind of sucked it up at the Senior Bowl. He was great in the practices before the Senior Bowl but then disappeared during the game. And the combine numbers mean very little to me. Show me some film and their work-out habbits, that is way more important.Originally posted by Gunakor
And I agree with Partial, what kind of turd can't stay off of weed during this process? What a moron!
But he is still a good player and the #9 pick just got more interesting. This combined with Cutler in the NFC North now makes it even more important the Packers get an impact defender.Comment

well, this might make him fall to us. he probably would have been gone otherwise
and we have to find out if it was just for weed. i think PFT mentioned that a few guys projected as first rounders tested positive for roids. i think
this might be one of them
i personally have no problem with anyone smoking up, i just don't want a guy thats going to end up suspended and quiting to focus on weedComment

Oh, and I don't think his positive test in college necessarily amounts to a strike by NFL standards. Teams may forgo drafting him, ala Warren Sapp, but the league itself isn't going to punish Raji as if he's a 2 time offender in the league. They aren't gonna suspend him because he failed a test at the combine. They will probably order him to attend drug counseling, and that's it. Then it's up to him. Maybe he won't quit, I don't know. But Koren Robinson by all accounts cleaned up his act in Green Bay, became a model citizen and teammate in fact, so why is it so hard to believe that someone like Raji couldn't do the same thing in a similar setting?Chuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

OK, you draft Raji, have him sit in prison in a year, then he'll be a clean camper too..
C'mon man, use your head. Dude isn't going to stop smoking until it really bites him in the ass.
It is my understanding he will have one strike against him now, since it was the NFL that caught him.Comment
