Let’s all be in agreement, Josh Gordon nor Baylor needs any more bad press.
As if the Art Briles and the rape culture that the football was allowed to thrive on campus, now reports that former Baylor wide-out Josh Gordon claims that while a student-athlete made approximately 10K a month dealing weed. Gordon admitted to being the big man on campus when it came to pot in an interview with Sports Illustrated.
Per Bleacher Report
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon has admitted to dealing drugs during his college days at Baylor.
In an interview with Ben Baskin of Sports Illustrated, Gordon said he would receive up to six pounds of marijuana each week through the mail and estimated he made “upward of $10,000” per month from selling it in cities around the state of Texas, including Dallas and Austin.
Gordon did tell Baskin about an epiphany he had over the summer that has changed his perspective on things.
“If I was willing to go to any length to [get a fix],” he said, “then at what point am I going to go to any length to get something positive for me?”
Gordon is eligible to play in his first game since 2014 on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.
One of the more prolific recievers in the league when on the field, he has been suspended from the NFL for the past two years due to multiple violations of the league’s substance abuse policy.
