Dre Kirkpatrick - DB - College Player

Misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession against Alabama CB Dre Kirkpatrick were dismissed in a Florida court on Monday.
A projected top-25 pick in this year's draft, Kirkpatrick's stock is unlikely to be affected after the dismissal. Arrested on January 17 in Manatee County, Kirkpatrick was allegedly found to have 7.9 grams (0.28 ounces) of pot in his possession. The arrest occurred just five days after Kirkpatrick, a third-year junior, declared for the draft. Kirkpatrick claimed he did not know the marijuana was in friend Chris Rogers' car, and Rogers accepted the blame.
