One of the more highly rated draft prospects the Vikings signed as a UDFA, after he fell from being a mid-round prospect, was CB Holton Hill from Texas.
Well, we know now why he went undrafted.
Hill had been suspended for his last few games at Texas for violating team rules. It’s been reported that his suspension resulted from a failed drug test - due to smoking marajuana. That was the reason his draft stock fell from being a possible 2nd or 3rd round pick to a later round pick.
Now Matt Miller at Bleacher Report is also reporting that Hill failed the drug test at the Combine as well - which NFL teams would have known - and accounts for his going undrafted.
