NFL Draft 2012: Dre Kirkpatrick Arrested For Possession Of Marijuana

Home » NFL » NFL Draft 2012: Dre Kirkpatrick Arrested For Possession Of Marijuana

(The Birmingham News/Mark Almond)

Alabama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick declared for the 2012 NFL Draft just a week ago and was considered a potential top 15 pick. It’s hard to believe that Kirkpatrick could severely damage his stock in such a small amount of time, but he has done just that with his immaturity and irresponsibility.

Kirkpatrick has been arrested for possession of marijuana… sure does give a new meaning to “Roll Tide.” The second-team All-American was released on $120 bond.

The corner, who played a significant part in Alabama’s national championship run, was arrested with less than 20 grams of marijuana. He will not see jail time, but his draft stock will take a hit and he will receive a fine. How far will Kirkpatrick fall? Will teams completely take him off of their draft board?

Decisions off the field play a big part of where a player is selected. Kirkpatrick has made a terrible one and will have to pay for it. Let the free fall begin.

Yes, he was an idiot, but the tone of your article sounds like you have an agenda.

I agree with the last comment. Although it was a very poor choice for Dre to make, you do sound like you have an aganda. There’s need for the “sure does give a new meaning to Roll Tide” statement.

Roll Weed Roll, then smoke it! Great start to your NFL career Dre. More proof that athletes care ZERO for their former teams and apparently for him, his future. Who am I kidding? This won’t do anything to hurt him. It’s all about the Benjamins. Still love the Tide. National Champs!!! 14
