he has a freaking TORN HAMSTRING! how the fuck is he supposed to run when he's rehabbing an injury????

I heard pulled hamstring.

But I've also heard that he hasn't been doing shit as far as workout since before the Rose Bowl. So I don't see how he could be "rehabbing" from the injury, when he hasn't been doing anything.

I always thought rehabbing involved some sort of physical activity. I guess not.:roll1:

White never appeared on NFL drug test list

<!-- end pagetitle --> <!-- begin bylinebox --> By Len Pasquarelli

<!-- begin text11 div --><!-- begin leftcol --> <!-- template inline --> The agent for LenDale White, whose draft stock has already plummeted because of his inability to record a 40-yard dash time for scouts, adamantly denied on Saturday a published report that the Southern California tailback had failed an NFL drug test.
"We are confident that LenDale did not fail an NFL drug test," said agent Eugene Parker. "It's simply not true."
The denial is hardly surprising, given the source, and the fact White has already been adversely affected by the fact teams do not have a complete assessment on him, since he never finished a full workout.
The lone official function at which an NFL drug test is administered is the league scouting combine in Indianapolis. Last week, teams received a report citing just two prospects for this year's draft, LSU defensive tackle Claude Wroten and Missouri State kicker Jon Scifres, as having tested positive at the combine in late February.
Four general managers or personnel directors contacted by ESPN.com on Friday and Saturday said there was no follow-up letter citing additional positive tests. All four said they were unfamiliar with any league-administered tests that White could have failed.
Teams are not permitted to conduct drug screenings on players when they bring them to their complexes for individual pre-draft meetings. That said, a few franchises skirt the rules and do conduct such tests. Those teams, though, would have no reason, given the competitive nature of the draft, to share the results.
Once projected as a possible top 10 selection but now perhaps sliding out of the first round entirely, White had individual visits with only two teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys.
White did not run a 40-yard dash at the combine sessions and then, citing a hamstring injury, did not run at the USC pro day workouts on April 2.
Two weeks ago, an MRI examination revealed that White had a moderate tear of his right hamstring and would need four to five weeks of rehabilitation before he could run. Teams are generally reluctant to invest in a prospect without a full workup on him, and a 40-yard time is regarded as a significant part of that puzzle.
In his three college seasons, White carried 541 times for 3,159 yards and 52 touchdowns. He also added 31 receptions for 331 yards and five touchdowns. A strong runner between the tackles and bullish when he got into the secondary, he ran for more than 1,000 yards in both 2004 and 2005 and was a perfect complement to the more elusive Reggie Bush.

ESPN also reported that Jeff Fisher denies that White failed a drug test.

I noticed when Trey Wingo, Mark Schlereth, Merrill Hoge, and Ron Jaworski were talking about Lendale that none of them mentioned the rumor of the failed drug test. It seemed obvious to me that somebody at ESPN (I'm speculating a legal type) had told them specifically not to mention it.

Then they switch to Ed Werder in a remote location and he talks about it. It seemed like Ed didn't get the memo. Maybe Lendale can sue Ed and ESPN. (j/k - I understand that they're protected by 'absence of malice')

Is there a significance to the 'Got Robbed' T-shirt that Lendale was wearing? I think some folks could see it as reinforcing the "It's not my fault" mentality.

All of this could be true (and I think most of it is true to a degree), but it still does not make him "MoC II", which is the label I objected to.

I agree completely that he isn't a MoC II, since that cat was in a class by himself. The poor judgement issue is one where there is some commonality between the two, yet LW is nowhere near the MoC level.

I wouldn't give LW the MoC II label and my post wasn't meant to imply that he was MoC II.

[censored] Lendale White.

Have you noticed the list of almighty USC Trojan busts in the NFL is growing? Leinhart, White, Williams...etc
Click to expand...

Let's not forget probably the biggest bust of them all--Reggie Bush. Funny part is, I remember when the Texans took Mario Williams over Bush, the media absolutely tore the Texans apart. A few years later, Williams is recognized as one (if not the) best players in the NFL and Bush has, quite simply, failed to live up to expectations.
