Big Names Flunk NFL Combine Drug Tests

((HT: FoxSports))

The NFL combine lets every athlete that walks in the door relieve themselves in a cup... or something... so they can have samples on file and see whether or not they're all nice, law-abiding kids.

Apparently, two tested positive in the eyes of The Shield... Georgia Tech running back Jonathan Dwyer and Southern California tight end Anthony McCoy.

Dwyer tested positive in February for amphetamines, but this shouldn't screw things up for him- listed as a late first-round/early second-round selection. A source said the positive test was triggered by a prescription medication that Dwyer has NFL clearance to use for a pre-existing condition.

McCoy tested positive for marijuana, and his divulging this now gives his representatives the impression that it won't hurt his standing as a second-rounder.

Here's a reminder of what Dwyer can do in an offense...

Dwyer's agent, Adisa Bakari, told Doug Roberson of the AJC that the positive test is a "non-issue."
