Poor Don Banks. He's covered football for 20 years, and probably never had to do a story like this. But when ten different personnel evaluators come to you and tell you that a ridiculous amount of prospects have used marijuana, well, that's a trend piece.
It's long been debated to what extent character should come into play when evaluating a player. It's also up for discussion what exactly "character" is supposed to mean. But with an estimated one-third of players on draft boards having some kind of red flag for marijuana, that discussion has been accelerated in 32 different war rooms.
According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, 47.5 percent of college students have smoked pot. So if the NFL sources have their estimates correct, the nation's best football players have stayed a heck of a lot cleaner than everyone else.

Brazen? True Picture: Opening Day at the Twins new ball park. For the record the police in Minnesota gave the head only a warning.
