Vontae Davis Drug Rumors Denied

The agent for University of Illinois cornerback Vontae Davis has issued a denial of an NFLDraftBible.com report that claimed Davis tested positive for marijuana at the NFL Scouting Combine. Here’s the entire statement released to us minutes ago from Davis’ agent, Todd France: “Last night it was reported on an Internet site that my client, Vontae Davis, tested positive for marijuana at the combine. The report cited unnamed sources including an NFL team. Neither Vontae nor our office has received any notification of any positive test whether for marijuana or any other banned substance. In addition, we have been informed by several of our NFL contacts that they have not been notified of any drug testing results from the combine.” The brother of San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis, Vontae Davis is a projected first-round draft pick. At the combine, Davis ran a 4.40 in the 40-yard dash, bench pressed 225 pounds 25 times and turned in a 10-5 broad jump. He registered a 37.5-inch vertical leap at his campus Pro Day workout.
