yrann Mathieu is hoping to bolster his sinking draft stock by convincing teams he doesn’t get high anymore.
Mathieu was kicked out of LSU, and missed all of last season, for repeated use of marijuana, but after “a big struggle” he said he has quit the drug.
“All the things I put before football in the past, it’s not fun anymore — marijuana and everything you put before football is obsolete now,” Mathieu said on NFL Network, according to Pro Football Talk.
Mathieu participated at the NFL scouting combine and said he was peppered with questions about why he got kicked out of school. His response:
“It’s smoking marijuana and then it’s all the things you kind of surround yourself around,” Mathieu said. “The marijuana was the issue but it was the social things, too, that I had to get in line.”
