IIRC... he had a pretty serious health issue going on and smoked weed (medical and recreational) Have either of those situations changed ?

 

He had talent at one time but never put it together. Why did the Texans release him at this point in the season ? ...

How has his play been in Texas?  Kinda forgot about him after he left.  I remember the Crohn's disease was pretty terrible for him for a while there...


He was not good in Houston.  Fringe marginal starter.  He’s a backup tackle

i knew there was a Henderson thread, but i didn't find it before i just posted the tweet in it's own thread


That’s ok.  I feel that topic should stand on its own

always best to take a closer look.
Not sure if Bates is being groomed as interior player. But i might guess so.

No hate on Hendy from me.

Exactly why they are looking at him...

Don’t let Seantrel visit Canada!  He can get recreational marijuana there!!!!!!!

You might be the last “anti-marijuana” guy left in the US. There’s 30 articles to it’s benefit to every 1 against it. That doesn’t even get into how dangerous the alternatives are. For some perspective there were 47,600 opioid deaths in the US in 2017. There were no deaths from cannabis overdose in that year. Don’t confuse lobby money with danger.

The point isn't the safety (or not) of the stuff , it's that the NFL prohibits it, and Henderson as a repeat offender is in their drug program for regular testing.

 

Whether you think the NFL should allow it or not (lots of ex players have come out in favor), right now they don't.

But at the same time it’s estimated that 87% of the players use it regularly. I hang out with, or used to hang out with, about 5 guys that played. Every single one of them uses it (not always like some). They said that well over half of the locker room uses it regularly. If you get caught normally, it’s because you are an idiot. Henderson is a bit of a weird case. He didn’t hide it because he said that was all that helped with Crohn’s. The rest of the leagues look the other way. As always, the NFL is the last guy to sit at the table. It does then ZERO good to fight it at this point. It will be gone in the next CBA for sure. 
 

The point being, marijuana use is about reason 3,654,754,357 that you wouldn’t want a player.

Haha maybe.  I’m also anti-opioid.  I just don’t want a player who puts weed above football as Seantrel has done SEVERAL times throughout it his life.

A player, check.

 

A player in the drug testing program due to repeat offenses, that's something a team has to consider.
