Three Top Draft Prospects Admit Using Marijuana

Three top draft prospects reportedly admitted to past marijuana use in interviews taped by the league at the NFL scouting combine in February and distributed to each of the 32 teams.

Pro Football Weekly reported that Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson, Clemson defensive end Gaines Adams and Louisville defensive tackle Amobi Okoye made the admissions during the standard interviews.

All three players are considered possible top-10 selections in the draft. An official with one NFL team, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the interviews are not meant to be released or discussed publicly, said this morning he didn't think the draft status of any of the players would be affected. Players also undergo drug testing at the combine and there's no indication that any of the three tested positive.
