B.J. Raji fails drug test
Since last season, Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji has seen his draft stock soar. Raji had a strong 2008 campaign, strong week of practice at Senior Bowl and good workouts at the NFL combine and his pro day.
Raji, who was projected as a top 10 pick, may now see his draft stock drop. Per Sports Illustrated, Raji failed a drug test taken at the NFL combine in February.
In 2008, Raji had 42 tackles (16 for a loss) and eight sacks.

"Brian Murphy, Chief Operating Officer of Athletes First, which represents Raji, told SI.com: 'We will not comment on rumors from unnamed sources. I do know that B.J. has been one of the hardest workers and nicest individuals that we at Athletes First represent. There is no doubt that he will be an invaluable addition to an NFL team both on the field as a player and in the community as a role model.'"Raji had also tested positive for marijuana when he was at BC before the 2008 season and missed the 2007 season due to academic reasons.
