PFT: At least one “good prospect” tested positive at Scouting Combine

A source with knowledge of the situation tells us that at least one “good prospect” generated a positive urine test in February during his visit to Indianapolis.

The source hasn’t supplied a name. And even if the source did, we wouldn’t be repeating it here without confirmation.

Doubt it'll turn out to be anyone we're considering, though that's pure "gut feeling" on my part.

How stupid do you have to be to get caught with drugs in your system at The Combine? :nonod:

Charlie Casserly addressed this years before and again this year. NFL personnel aren't stupid, but if you test positive at the combine you are showing every NFL team you are not only stupid as hell, but on one of the most important days of your life, what may be the biggest interview of your life, you can't be clean.

It is about as big a red flag as you can get and many teams dump the prospect right off their boards completely regardless of his talent.

Suck if it was Peterson, wouldn't it? :(

(he doesn't strike me as the type though, neither does Gabbert)

It'll probably wind up being someone most of us haven't heard of, but if the name doesn't come out you could see a situation like last year where a couple of big name prospects get falsely accused.

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
