Report: Draft prospect Raji fails test

It's never a good time to fail a drug test, but Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji picked an exceptionally bad time.

SI.com is reporting that Raji failed an undisclosed drug test at the NFL Scouting Combine.  The drug is unknown, but NFL teams were reportedly aware that Raji had tested positive for marijuana previously during his time at Boston College.

Reports of failed drug tests seem to crop up every year, and often they don't change someone's draft status that much.  But those tests are usually not the one given out at the Combine.  Failing a drug test at the biggest job interview of your life allows for teams to call a player's judgment into question. 

Warren Sapp famously slid after a failed test.  Raji, who was projected to be a top-ten pick, could face the same fate.
