"And I know it sounds cliché, but there's really no one else I can blame."Winston (6-4, 231) said he’s aware the failed test could affect where he’s taken in next month’s draft."Am I worried? Yeah, I'm worried," he said. "At the same time, I'm confident. I know I'm going to be all right in the end."According to Winston, his use of marijuana was openly discussed during the interview process with teams interested in him at the Combine.
