NFL requests ‘random’ drug test on Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee after big hit (Photo)

On Sunday night, Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee laid the boom on Denver Broncos return man Trindon Holliday and today, walking into work, he finds out that he’s been subject to a ‘random’ drug test.
It could of course be nothing more than a coincidence, though, McAfee himself seemed a bit taken back by the ‘randomness’ of the request, suggesting the following in his Twitter post:
"Guys… Make one random tackle… And end up on a “Random” steroid test.. Must be my bod #UpperBodyOfAnAdolescent"
I can’t imagine the NFL would actually feel the need to test a kicker specifically due to a hit (which did just so happen to be helmet-to-helmet) though I have heard some strange things come out of the NFL offices, so I guess I wouldn’t be completely shocked if the actually did do that.
Also, completely different topic here – wonder if McAfee gets a fine from the league for the hit considering it was helmet-to-helmet?
Either way, I guess return men in the league now know, don’t mess with McAfee, son.
For those that missed the hit, FanSided’s own Jack Jorgensen has you covered.
