The former Cretin-Derham Hall standout is expected to be taken in this week's NFL draft.

Seantrel Henderson has admitted he tested positive for marijuana while playing at the University of Miami, and now a positive test at the NFL Combine might hurt his draft status.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported today that Henderson, a former standout at Cretin-Derham Hall, failed a drug screening at the Combine. Schefter cited NFL sources in his report.

On April 3, the 6-foot-7, 340-pound Henderson quit during his Pro Day drills at Miami, blaming dehydration.

All that baggage is likely to hurt Henderson, who at times had been projected to be a high draft choice. He's one of the largest and most athletic offensive linemen in the draft.
