Report: Projected 1st Round NFL Draft Pick Mekhi Becton's Drug Test Flagged at Combine

Multiple NFL draft prospects had their drug tests flagged at this year's combine, including Louisville offensive tackle Mekhi Becton, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Rapoport reports that Becton had no failed tests in college.

Under the league's new collective bargaining agreement, Becton will now be moved to Stage 1 of the NFL's Intervention Program for up to 60 days. If he has no further issues or flagged tests during that time, he will "thereafter assume the same status as Players who have never been referred to the Intervention Program," per Rapoport.
