Mars"There was justifiable consternation in Provo last December when Florida tight end Aaron Hernandez won the John Mackey Award as the nationâs top tight end instead of BYUâs Dennis Pitta, who arguably had better numbers than Hernandez. Now thereâs even more reason to be upset. Reports in the Boston Globe and this one in the Orlando Sentinel say Hernandez failed multiple drug tests while at Florida, most for repeated marijuana use."
" "He had multiple positive tests, so he either had issues or he's dumb," one longtime NFL executive told the Globe. "One or two tests? Fine. But four, five, six? Come on, now you've got an addiction. He's not a bad kid. He just has an issue.''
...Hernandez is the second high-profile Gators player to have drug problems entering the draft. Percy Harvin, who won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year last season with the Minnesota Vikings, failed a marijuana test at the NFL Combine.
...Teams worried about whether Hernandez could lay off marijuana use in the NFL, reports the Globe... Florida coach Urban Meyer's relationship with Patriots coach Bill Belichick could have eased the Patriots' concerns of drafting Hernandez. Meyer always has spoken highly of Hernandez. "
Way to set a good example for your team, Urban Meyer. 4, 5, 6 failed drug tests, MOST of them due to marijuana? Let's just keep starting him, because at Florida winning is the ONLY thing that matters!
