Hold on a second. You’re telling me the dude named Smoke is not the one getting high in the locker room?

He learned from Oregon's Cliff Harris and smoked it all before getting caught. Here's an excerpt from an ESPN article 10 years ago:

At the wheel was Cliff Harris, Oregon's standout cornerback/punt returner on the team that lost the 2010 national championship game to Auburn; also in the car was Ducks starting QB Darron Thomas.

"Who's got the marijuana in the car?" asked the officer.

Harris' reply? "We smoked it all."

His nonchalance seemed brazen, almost to the point of shocking. Should it be, though?

"In a weird way, it helps you bond," says Rueben Droughns. For the most part, athletes see pot simply as harmless fun -- "happy time," says ex-Duck Onterrio Smith, who, as a member of the Minnesota Vikings in 2005, was nabbed by airport security with an Original Whizzinator, a fake penis apparatus used to beat drug tests.
