Steelers hosting Randy Gregory
ESPN’s Scott Brown reports that the Steelers aren’t shying away from one of the most talented players in the draft, pass rusher Randy Gregory from Nebraska, even after he did one of the most bone-headed things anyone can possibly do. Gregory tested positive for marijuana at the NFL Scouting Combine but the Steelers are still bringing in the pass rusher for a pre-draft visit.
ESPN’s Todd McShay ranks Gregory as the seventh best player in the draft while Mel Kiper Jr. has him ranked as the 11th best player. But, at 6’5”, 235lbs and 17 ½ sacks in two seasons at Nebraska you have to wonder if his draft stock has dropped since failing to realize that really should be common knowledge for all players entering the combine = they will test you for marijuana.
Brown explains that Gregory told the NFL Network earlier this week that he tested positive for marijuana at the NFL Combine last month and he reportedly failed multiple drug tests at Nebraska. It would be a gamble either way for the Steelers to get Gregory, it’s not likely that his latest failed drug test could plummet him all the way down to the 22nd spot and even then is it worth it to draft him?
