Pot does stay in your system for up to six weeks depending highly on the fat levels of your body. The guy does have some heft to his body, so he could have smoked weeks before the combine and still tested positive. We also have to remember that these dudes are in college and are more likely to experiment or be naughty. I would still like to have him on my team.

It could have been some other drug... We don’t know that he tested positive for Mary Jane, do we? It could have been some other drug…

In this case, there's a pattern here that is certainly a little unsettling, especially for a team taking him in the top-10 or 15.

He also missed his entire junior year because of an academic situation, so there have some other small issues. But I agree - smoking pot doesn't make you a bad person. But if he was doing it before the combine, I think Raji isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. I think the problem is, Jamey, is that he was also busted during his senior year as I’m finding out.

This doesn't raise questions about the kid's character in my mind unless there were other red flags (legal trouble, etc.) that already had people concerned. But if this is just an isolated incident for a guy who's never been viewed as a potential problem, the only thing I question is his decision making. Smoking pot doesn't automatically make someone a bad person, despite what a lot of people would have you believe. But smoking it during the most important time in Raji's life certainly qualifies as a boneheaded decision. I think news like this is way overrated.
