Percy Harvin And Drugs Do Not Mix... Allegedly...

((HT: Robbie Andreu/Gainesville.com))

The big question now for former UF wide out Percy Harvin is: Where's the draft status now...?

Harvin, apparently, locked in a 12 on his Wonderlic exam, and now there's talk of a failed drug test- along with three other NFL prospects...

"...word started leaking out that Harvin had tested positive for marijuana at the Combine. Citing sources in the NFL, NFLDraftBible.com reported that Harvin was one of at least four prospects to test positive in Indianapolis. The others, the Site said, were Illinois cornerback Vontae Davis, UTEP kicker Jose Martinez, Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji. Sports Illustrated also reported Thursday that Raji had tested positive.


If Harvin did indeed fail his drug test two months ago, chances are good he's going to slip out of the first round. There were questions aboutHarvin even before this news started leaking. The biggest being his history of missing time with injuries during his UF career.


Add it all up - the durability concerns, the Wonderlic score and the possible failed drug test - and it could turn out to be a disappointing draft day for Harvin. Not only is his reputation getting hammered, he could take a huge financial hit if he falls into the second round."

What he said...
