Per Pat McAfee there is a "drug test guy" i guess.

I wonder who he answers to and how and when he pulls names for testing

Perhaps it is true that having an exceptional game trips on of these.  Seems like it's not the first time I've heard of that happening

It wouldn't be random but it would make some sense I think

It's a badge of honor for the test guy to think that no one could have that good of a game without some kind of drug.......I would think

I believe it's more of testing someone they don't think does drugs. I say that because the NFL (like most employers) do not want positive results. Maybe it's a strange way at looking at it but I have my reasons.

It also could be as simple as TY's was made public when other players were tested didn't coincide with them having a big game?

Are there random drug testing police? Are they like air marshalls?

 

The NFL Drug programs Medical advisor, sends it to a team who places it on the players locker. But it is administered by technicians of a third party company.  The NFL used to use The National Center for Drug Free Sport, Inc.  I'm not sure if they still do or use another outfit now.

10 players per team each week can be  {cough} randomly selected, and every player must be tested at least once a season ... and for those never testing positive on any drug test, it is only for banned performance enhancing substances.

It does seem just a little 'too' coincidental to be purely random.

Pat used to gripe about this as well.  I think if you select 10 random NFL starters each week chances are a handful of them are going to have had a couple good plays that game.  Chances are TY is not the only one who thinks he got picked because he had a good game.

not to mention he also predicted he would have 150 yards and 2 tds BEFORE the game lol . pretty good guess for him there.

    • I use Pro-Football Reference as my primary source of stats.    Alec Pierce  2022 78 targets  3 drops  3.8% drop rate  2023 65 targets  3 drops  4.6%     Believe who you want!  For those who actually focus on the game while their TV is on during the game, you should remember how terrible Ryan and Minshew were at throwing Pierce a catchable ball. They regularly missed him by a mile.  Blame it on Reggies coaching, maybe Pierce is a very slow learner?  I'm looking forward to learning more on the subject with AR.   Mike Evans 2023  5.1%  drop rate   Jamar Chase  2021 11 drops  8.6% drop rate  2022 11 drops  8.2% 2023  5 drops   3.4%    Tyreke Hill 2021 7 drops   4.4% 2022  8 drops  4.7% 2023 12 drops 7.0%    Travis Kelce  2021 10 drops  7.5% 2022  8 drops   5.3% 2023  7 drops   5.8%    Clown school is now open.    
    • I just made the point to illustrate he is definitely not primarily a slot guy. He pretty much does it all. I think Reggie saw a bit of TY Hilton in him. And if we get any of that then Pierce has a problem down the line this year.
    • Yeah, baseball is big when it comes to players that played even 100 years ago. Babe Ruth of course. There is only one Babe. Guy could party all night, drink, be with women, and wake up on 2 hours of sleep and then hit 3 HR's in a game . To me Willie Mays is probably the greatest there ever was and he played in the 50's, 60's, and up through 70's. Pitchers in the 70's were throwing 90 MPH by then. Mays won a World Series, so he was a champion, batted .302 for his career, and hit 660 HR's. I just know those stats off the top of my head without looking them up lol. 
    • I do respect those that study the older generations and accomplishments. Slingin Sammy too was a great one. IMO the sport that most fans study the past greats is Baseball and by a wide margin. Everyone knows Babe Ruth the greatest power hitter of all time and Cy Young and Ty Cobb.........could go on and on but in Baseball those legends never die like in other sports.
    • Shaq is the closest thing to Wilt we will ever see. Today's centers are more finesse. Joker plays like a PG and likes to shoot 3's even. He is a great player but doesn't overpower you down low.
