Player Who Allegedly Trashed Hotel Room Drafted In First Round

You can listen to the draft pundits talk about character issues all you want, but at the end of the day, all that matters is how well you play. Which is probably why WR DeAndre Hopkins was drafted 27th overall with the Texans' first pick, despite allegations that he and another player trashed their Indy hotel room during the combine back in February. They didn't go full Diamond Dave on the joint, but the hotel reported garbage strewn about the room, uneaten food left on the beds, toothpaste smeared on the mirror, and - here's the kicker - "urine and feces scattered about."
And what kind of "student-athlete" could be accused of not being able to get his own shit in the bowl? Well, Hopkins was a major in Community Recreation, Sport and Camp Management at Clemson. The other player, WR Mark Harrison (signed undrafted by the Bears), was a major in Labor Studies at Rutgers.
