According to NFL insider Adam Schefter of ESPN, former Michigan linebacker Jabrill Peppers, a likely first-round pick Thursday night, "tested positive" for a diluted urine sample during a drug test at the NFL Combine in February.
A Creative Arts Agency spokesman said this on behalf of its client:
"Peppers went to the combine. He was sick after flying there from San Diego. He has a history of cramping. Peppers was being pumped with fluids, drinking 8-10 bottles of water before he went to bed, because he was the first guy to work out two days for the LBs and DBs. He had to go through that first day, come back on second day, and that was the fear. So Peppers was pounding water and under the weather. He never failed a drug test in his life, nor tested positive before for any substance."
We won't know how this affects his draft stock until Thursday night.
