I'd say he could be the steal of the draft, but he wasn't drafted...

I'm not sure I understand why the NFL even cares about marijuana any more.  Does it have anything to do with.......anything?

Vikings believe Holton Hill has ability to start at cornerbackHolton Hill was considered one of the top defensive back talents in the 2018 NFL Draft class, but character concerns and maturity red flags dropped him out of the event entirely. The Minnesota Vikings wound up taking the former University of Texas defensive back on as an undrafted free agent and it appears that he is turning heads in the organization since he joined the team.
The Vikings addressed their defensive back position early in the draft by taking Mike Hughes with the No. 30 overall pick in the first round, but NFL insider Tom Pelissero says that Hill is a name to watch after undergoing treatment for his marijuana problem and re-focusing on football.
"The rookie cornerback working opposite of (Hughes) is another name to remember:Holton Hill, an undrafted free agent out of Texas," Pelissero said during a TV segment."The Vikings really wanted to sign him, so much so that they gave him $75,000 in guaranteed money on his contract, which is one of the biggest guarantees you're going to find for an undrafted rookie around the league.
"They think that Hill has starter ability, and is maybe the most physical corner who came out in this draft class. He's 6-foot-2, and runs a 4.4 range 40 (yard dash). Ability was never the question, it was off the field issues for (him), and specifically marijuana. I spoke with Holton about this (on Wednesday). He acknowledged he sought treatment for that last fall, got help with it and just identified what he wanted his place in life to be and how he was going to get there and make better decisions. He said that he has not smoked since before he went and got that treatment. I asked him, 'How do you feel without it?' He said, 'Better.' He's hanging around the veterans, soaking up as much as he can and making sure he has positive influences around him.”

I don't think most teams really care that much, but from what it sounds like Hill had a legit problem with it, more so than just getting caught with a drug test.
