Easy guys. Someone popped with a joint gets charged with possession of less than 15 grams. He coulda had a joint, an 1/8th, a pipe with residue, anything really. I had a client charged with that when they found 2 marijuana seeds in his ashtray, there's just no way to know without seeing the police report. Maybe there are some articles out there. Anything less than 15 grams is presumed, in my State at least, to be for personal use and its automatic probation 1st offense, and can later be expunged off his record. Now before anyone jumps all over me, let me say again that's just where I practice, probably not everywhere.

I misread it, I thought he got caught with 15 grams. My bad.

He has had lots of problems over the last few years. Heck he didn't even actually get into UVa when he got a scolarship and had to go to prep school for a year. The guy has been one issue after another. Groh is a tough guy but to boot someone with the caliber of talent Brooks has you have to have been burned pretty badly and numerous times. I'd pass.

I'd easily spend a 3rd on this guy. He's made his share of mistakes, but when you look at the Risk vs Reward I'd take him in a heart beat. Coming out of high school he was the #1 overall defensive recruit in the country. Some of the thigns the Sirius NFL guys said about this guy were great. Many had talked to him and said he didn't sound like a troubled kid in their eyes.

He could be the best player ever taken in the Supplimental draft.

I wouldn't bother with a guy like this.

Doesn't sound like a high character guy that this staff generally looks for.

anyone can sound like they're not a thug for five whole minutes, especially with money riding on it. Lawerence Phillips proved that talent isn't enough and that its easy to get burned by ignoring the inherent problems a guy might have. and being the #1 HIGH SCHOOL player means nearly nothing in the NFL. lots of players rise and fall in college, and he would have had that chance too, if he hadn't blown it.

I went to a UVA - UNC game last year. What caught my eye was Brooks just looked lathargic. It was like he didn't want to be there. I was right behind the bench and he didn't show any fire at all. He is a real talent and has shown that at times but needs to get his head together.

no way. if my memory serves me well i think the old man had some drug issues as well. as long as coach gibbs is here, character means something. and like i said at the beginning, no way

I don't know man. Everyone seems to say that Sean Taylor is a good guy but he is too easily influenced by the dumb stuff his friends do. This guy could turn Taylor into a crackhead before we know it.
