Jim Finks, general manager of the New Orleans Saints, denounced reports that third-round draft choice Joel Smeenge tested positive for steroids at the National Scouting Combine.
Finks said he knew nothing about the report, although he would not confirm or deny its accuracy.

The Pittsburgh Press reported Smeenge, a defensive end from Western Michigan; Pittsburgh Steeler prospect Craig Veasey and Detroit Lion draftee Marc Spindler all tested positive for steroid use during NFL scouting combines.
