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.

I hope he falls to us in the 2nd or 3rd now. I know we might not have a real need for a nose tackle, but we desperately need 1 big linemen to stand up to power running games better.

It wouldn't suprise me if he falls to Day 2 if he gets drafted at all. But some team will probably use a Day 2 pick on him.

I say we take him in the third fourth if he is there. To me this hardly matters. Look at the situation; he only took the steroids because he figured they would help him overcome his elbow injury and perform better at the combine. If he was highly touted before the combine, I see no reason he shouldn't be considered as before.

But now all of his Combine results will be in question. I think he'll still get drafted but probably in Day 2.

yeah I saw that now. He took them because he had an elbow injury that wasn't healing. He even sent all of his College physical results to show it was the first time he took sterroids. Alot of GMs said it won't effect his draft spot though.
