In the past three weeks, two Detroit Lions players have been arrested for marijuana possession in separate incidents. Mikael Leshoure, the teams 2nd round pick in 2011, was arrested after he was found "chewing marijuana", during a routine traffic stop. The police report states that the officer "saw small pieces of marijuana down the front of his shirt," and that Leshoure complied when ordered to spit the marijuana out. First and foremost, Why the fuck was he chewing marijuana? Like seriously, cmon Mikael, you may not be a Rhodes Scholar, but throw it under the seat, stick it in your sock, but for fucks sake don't stuff the god damn stuff in your mouth. His best option would have been not to have the weed on his person all together, as he was actually already arrested earlier this year for the same thing.
Then on Tuesday, the Lion's 2011 1st round pick, Nick Fairley was also arrested for marijuana possession. Multiple citizens called the police to report a Cadillac Escalade speeding through a neighborhood in Mobile, Alabama. The cops responded to the calls and pulled over Fairley, whose car reeked of marijuana, and there was also marijuana is his ashtray. Im not promoting smoking weed, but if your going to cruise at least don't do it speeding in your Escalade, attracting as much attention as possible. Fairley, disappointed in his first season after being drafted #13 last year and he seems to have character issues as well.
Hopefully these arrests will send a message to the Lions franchise about looking for high character guys, but having last years top two draft picks get arrested within a week is not a good look.
