I think he is delusional re: his NFL future. NFL teams tend to overlook past legal problems but are extremely wary of players with a past drug history.
It is very easy to not get caught in college, given how teams can control the players, and there is no mandatory or surprise testing. If you do get caught, they think you are just plain irresponsible.
He did not put up NFL-type stats in college. He only had 13 starts. He is a very selfish player. As others have stated, he is trying to ride on his brothers coattails. Maybe in college, but the NFL is a no BS league. Put up or shut up. There are so many examples of guys who couldn't or wouldn't put in the time and responsibility it takes to be an NFL QB and just washed out before they even started. If he does get drafted, I think it will be in the third or later rounds, with a low minimum, incentive driven contract. Like I said, past drug use scares many teams cause a suspension by the league screws the team as much as the player. Teams cannot afford to 'waste' a draft pick or practice reps on a prima donna.
Here in Tampa we used to have Shawn King. He had great college stats.(All time NCAA percentage passer, I believe) He led the Bucs to the NFC championship game and then was cut the next season basically because he was lazy and would not spend hours in the film room trying to get better.
Good Luck in the real world Marcus. Mickey D's is always hiring.
