Justin Gatlin hopes to outrun DBs and pee tests
May 5, 2007 Pacman Jones' gunrack, Teams that aren't the Texans, Training camp 2007
I suppose this is only tangentially related to the Texans, considering they never gave him more than a cursory glance, but Justin Gatlin is back in the news. This time, he is sprinting through Tampa Bay’s minicamp, trying to make the Bucs as a wide receiver.
I also suppose this is only noteworthy (to the extent that it is) because of Gatlin’s track suspension, which came on the heels of a positive testosterone test at the Kansas City relays. I mean, it’s not like he is the first track star to try out for a football team. Still, I find it humorous that a league so currently concerned with public image and policing player behavior would sign off on a guy who has already been banned by another sport. Somewhere, Pacman Jones is pissed off. Which means no one is safe. Allegedly.
