Alabama DB Dre Kirkpatrick announced last week that he'll be entering the NFL Draft. He has great size, crazy ball skills, and coming off that shut-out of LSU in the BCS Title game... His draft stock couldn't be higher. And neither could he. Allegedly.

Dre possesses explosive athletic ability, but apparently not expansive decision making ability. Because the only thing he was in possession of early Tuesday morning was the GANJ. He was arrested at the scene in Florida, and I haven't had a take on a Dre and the Chronic since the early 90s when the good Doctor was going multiplatinum with it. And it's easy to say- what's the big deal, he's a college kid mixing it up with a bag of salad, whatever. But, he's not just a college kid. He's a future Top 10 pick. It isn't like this is the Social Chair at Sigep who got busted burning a blunt by campus police. It's a guy who's three months away from being a multimillionaire.
In his position- it's simple. There are just two things you have to do: Work out. Don't get arrested. It's that easy. But apparently not easy enough for Dre. I know that campus life can be boring after football. But it's not boring enough to bake. My man, play some video games. Go on a date. Join intramurals. Do anything to pass the time and not raise questions about your maturity, or your sobriety. Hit the weights, hit the books.... But between now and draft day... Don't hit the fatty. (And don’t hate me. Thank me). You're welcome.
