Former NFL LB: Between 30-50 percent of players smoke pot

It was just late last month that an unnamed NFL general manager told Bleacher Report’s Mike Freeman that he believes 30 to 40 percent of those players eligible for the 2015 NFL draft smoke marijuana.

That, in and of itself was an pretty amazing statistic, especially considering it came from such a high-ranking official around the NFL world.

Now come these comments from former NFL linebacker Scott Fujita, who played 11 years in the league.

The way I always saw it, and the way coaches see it, is if you’re dumb enough to get caught at the one time of year they’re testing, that’s a problem,” Fujita said on Jim Rome’s Showtime series, via CBS Sports.
