We'll find out draft day

So.

Former Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett, confronted by a story that said "heavy rumors of drug use and possible addiction kept him from coming out for the 2010 draft," refused to answer questions about the piece, which was written by former NFL executive Tony Softli.

Well, that's his right, of course.

Here's what Mallett did say: "Obviously somebody did it for a reason, right before the combine, right before the draft. That's the last I'm going to talk about it, though. I've talked to the teams. It's all good."

First of all, I have to admit I cringe every time I hear anyone say, "it's all good" about anything.

Second of all, with character questions in the air and the memory of Ryan Leaf — to whom Mallett has been compared — still hanging on, I'm guessing it's really not all that good.
