Northwestern defensive tackle Luis Castillo acknowledged in a letter to all 32 NFL teams that he took steroids following the 2004 season.
League sources said Castillo tested positive for steroids at the Indianapolis scouting combine in late February.
In his letter, Castillo told teams that he was frustrated that an elbow injury wasn't healing properly, and he turned to steroids in order to perform better at the combine.
His coach, Randy Walker, also sent a letter to the teams, stating that Castillo never tested positive for steroids while at Northwestern, providing the teams with Castillo's drug testing history.
Scouts, Inc., had rated Castillo to be drafted in the mid-to-late vicinity of the second round.
