Tony Softli of ESPN 101 St. Louis reports that Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett did not declare for the 2010 NFL draft due to "heavy rumors" that he was addicted to drugs. Per Softli, "A lot of people are comparing Mallett to Ryan Leaf." Tony Softli previously worked as the Rams director of player personnel and was the Panthers' scouting director, and it sounds as if his sources have the inside track on the rumors we have been hearing for some time now. In addition, Softli suggested that Mallett will be given a hair follicle test at the combine to determine if he's used recently.

There has been plenty of speculation about Mallett over the past few weeks but none this severe. If Softli's claims are correct, this could drop Mallett completely out of the picture, and as more reports emerge, Mallett could have even more baggage than Ryan Leaf.

ReplyDeleteWe'll all have to wait for the results after the combine. If it's determined that he was using before the biggest job interview he'll ever have, then I don't know how you even consider drafting him.
