Failed his drug test at the combine .... its kind of an idiot test so to speak ... these kids all know they are going to be tested yet every year we see failed tests by high end prospects ...
who needs the wonderlic when they have piss tests ?

So, if he's there at 22, do the Steelers take him?
The "piss test" is about as accurate and relevant as the wonderlic test...I wouldn't mind seeing both of those test go in the garbage.

Lol. True!

Pretty idiotic by him if you read between the lines: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...bine-drug-test
I'm guessing the Jags will pass, if they were considering him, due to the recent Justin Blackmon fiasco. Wonder if he'll fall or if teams won't care too much.
For one he has too light a frame, but failed drug test? Cross him off the list. The last thing this team needs is another druggy
he is light , but has the frame to add 25 pounds and still not be heavy he is 6'5 -235 ..25 pounds would put him at 260 but that kind of weight being " good weight " takes time
lots to get excited about .... but also some things to take pause over
pretty accurate depiction here IMO http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profil...ory?id=2552446
Strengths
Tall with long levers and a lean, sinewy build. Batted down four passes in 2014. Stronger than expected at point of attack. Able to lock out and stay square against big offensive tackles and can whip most tight ends. Unhinges and gets tentacles on running backs bursting through gap. Room for more thickness on long frame. Competitive and shows toughness against run. Can chase and limit outside runs with speed. Secondary motor to stay in hunt downfield as tackler. Explosive hips. Gets instant change of direction to hound quarterbacks in play-action. Played standing up and with hand in ground. Rushed occasionally from ILB spot. Stride and second gear for quick close. Has bend and hips to convert speed to power. Showed improved timing and understanding of how to set up inside pass-rush move as season progressed. Hands are a blur. Explosive play traits to overwhelm technically deficient tackles. Can counter and recover from cut blocks. Flashes plus hand-feet coordination. As blitzer from ILB, will coil and explode into guard on contact step. More than tough enough. Willing to take on pulling guards with low pad level and aggressive pop. Weaknesses
Thin through trunk and will play with a narrow base, causing balance issues. Almost always last player out of his stance at snap. Technique and feel as pass rusher lacking at this point. Thinks rather than plays. Takes occasional false steps as stand-up rusher. Time-waster. Too much time stutter-stepping tackles rather than exploding upfield. Fails to stress the high side of tackles to get them rocking. Makes it too easy for tackles to quick-set him. Plays man in front of him rather than "seeing through" to quarterback. Lacks creativity as rusher. Gets punched with his shoulders still squared rather than on an angle, which robs ability to turn edge. Doesn't process what he sees very quickly. Marginal play strength in pass rush and can be redirected. Was manhandled by Wisconsin blockers on two long touchdown runs by Melvin Gordon. Sources Tell Us

Dion Jordan Bottom Line
A 3-4 outside linebacker with the length, toughness and closing burst to immediately help a run defense. Gregory could stand to add more weight to his frame and needs plenty of technique work and a patient coach for his pass-rush skill to match his traits. High-ceiling, low-floor prospect.
The player comparison should scare the hell out of many teams
To be fair, name a player that that crap-fest in Miami has developed? But, yeah Dion Jordan is not what you should be shooting for high in the first round.
As for the dope, like others have said, I find it more concerning that he can't do enough math to pass a test he knew about.
