Does the NFL really care about players smoking pot?

Ok, so this piece isn’t really Colts-related, at least not directly. Coming off the news that Chris Long smoked marijuana throughout his NFL career because, according to him, he would “not [be] as capable of coping with the stressors of day-to-day NFL life”, I got curious. How did a 11 year vet and #2 overall pick smoke for the duration of his career without getting caught? Well, turns out it’s not that difficult of a task to do.

After retiring from the NFL, the former Eagle was a guest on the Dan Patrick Show for what was supposed to be a routine interview about his decision to retire, and what the future held for him.
