Florida’s Hurt tested positive for marijuana

On Monday, FOX Sports reported that two top prospects for the 2011 NFL Draft – Georgia outside linebacker Justin Houston and Iowa defensive tackle Christian Ballard – tested positive for marijuana use at the 2011 NFL Scouting Combine.

According to Pro Football Weekly, which confirmed the FOX report on Tuesday, Florida Gators offensive lineman Maurice Hurt also tested positive at the event.

Hurt, who may have been selected in the third day of the draft if he was at all, has likely had his stock drop even further with NFL teams because of this development.

Combining a lack of top-tier production and numerous injuries in college with a failed drug test before the biggest set of job interviews in his career, Hurt will certainly be a question mark going into the draft over the weekend.
