Florida receiver Antonio Callaway tested positive for marijuana at the NFL Scouting Combine in early March, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Callaway's agent attributes the positive test to a diluted sample and the player has told those close to him that he was merely overhydrated, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

He led the Gators in receiving with 721 yards and three touchdowns in 2016, but spent the 2017 campaign off the field due to an investigation for credit card fraud. He was also cited for marijuana possession in May.

Formerly believed to be a potential first-round pick, the junior wideout is currently projected as a late-round selection.
