Who knows if this is true or not? It will definitely be looked into by NFL security staffs and the scouting staff, and if their is a hint that this is true, Mallett's stock will drop like a stone in this draft. Not only does he have significant on the field questions, but he may also just be Matt Jones off the field. You cannot invest a lot into a QB with these kind of question marks, if true.

Now that it's out there, I can say I've heard the same.

Marino had the same rumors said about his time at Pitt.
Though, they probably were not rumors..:shifty: -
i have never had a problem with college players doing drugs per se. Thats college life for quite a few people. My concern where it pertains to character is what is his mindset coming out of college. Does he feel entitled to a pro career? If so I dont want him. If however he can convince me that he is ready to put behind his childish ways and work his *** off then I have no problem with it.

If anything the future pro athlete realizing that coke would leave their system in 3 days or less would be a sign that at least they are thinking about the consequences.
And folks, recall that this time of yr there are rumors a plenty on players, recall in 09 Matthews and Cushing were accused of using roids, turned out one did in the pros, one did not. -

The link isn't working.

FWIW the version of this story that I've heard is that Mallet was seen doing Coke and Meth at various times, not MJ.
I still like his game, think his footwork is poor like most other aspects of his game but then again, to me with a tall Qb that release is what seperates say Rothlesberger from Dan McGwire. -
The meth thing would concern me but it is a totally 100% unconfirmed, unsubstantiated rumor. It would be like me saying "The rumor I've heard is that padre31 is a rapist".
Prove you're not.
So that's why I'd be careful saying things like that in public places.
Also, I've been told that the the guys at NFLDraftMonsters are total bullsh-t and to not believe a word they say.
Rumors of cocaine use for Mallett remain, to this day, totally unsubstantiated...IMO. -
Like Carl Nicks getting a penny ante bust for public drunkeness prior to the Draft.
