The timing of the NFL's postgame drug tests have been a long-running joke among the league's players. Just a few weeks ago, Philadelphia Eagles' running back Saquon Barkley said he was tested after his incredible backward hurdle, and his teammates pranked him with a fake test weeks later after his 302-yard outing against the Los Angeles Rams. More than 11 years ago, then-Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee was among the players to receive one of those questionably-timed tests.
Players clearly don't believe that the tests are all that random, and there are numerous examples of players sharing that they were tested coming off of remarkable plays or performances. Those jokes may be coming to an end... or they'll be very costly to players, at the very least.
