DetNews | Agent asked Manningham to admit drug use
4/10
Quote:
The agent for former Michigan receiver Mario Manningham said it was important his client started his professional career the right way and encouraged the junior-entry in this month's NFL draft to write a letter to NFL teams admitting he tested positive for marijuana in college.
Don Yee, who became Manningham's agent after the NFL combine and a week before Pro Day at Michigan in early March, said his client lacked guidance.
"The first thing we provided for him was structure," said Yee, a Los Angeles-based agent. "That was the first step. He needed to get started the right way."
When interviewed by NFL teams at the combine, Manningham denied testing positive throughout his college career. Manningham had a poor workout at the combine.
The online edition of Pro Football Weekly on Tuesday revealed Manningham, after signing with Yee, sent a letter to teams admitting he tested positive for marijuana use while at Michigan.
