Just Keep Flunking

When it comes to talking about the visits to Foxborough by free agents and draft prospects, the Pats are as secretive as North Korea. There was a rumor that CB Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu of LSU dropped by for a meeting. Nobody really knows what happened, if anything

Mathieu brings a boatload of talent and personal issues to any team that drafts him. The Heisman trophy finalist was suspended by LSU last year after failing numerous drug tests. He opted to leave school and enter the draft.

Honey Badger admits to failing at least ten tests before his suspension. That will be an issue for some teams, but not for all. We only need to see how Aaron Hernandez dropped to the fourth round before the Pats selected him. Hernandez flunked a few tests

The situation of Mathieu is not unique when it comes to college football and the NCAA. The fact that he flunked at least ten drug tests might raise concern in the real world, but it was never a problem with LSU until that final test.
