Brian Cushing, Texans first-round draft pick, confirms to the press that he never used steroid. That is despite the rumors circulating the NFL arena. According to Coach Frank Bush, Cushing reminds him of Bill Romanowski, not because of any issue linked to Romanowski, but rather the strength, intensity and the way he plays in the field.

Coach Frank bush said that steroid issue is part of the package of Cushing even if the player passed every drug test given. According to Coach Frank, it is unfair to Brian to be linked to the issue of performance-enhancing drugs since he has never been tested positive in all the tests conducted.

From Chron.com:

It’s not right. Yes, public figures are subject to more discussion (translation: excessive criticism and ridicule) than your average Joe, but for a guy to never have tested positive for steroids yet always have his name associated with them seems a bit unfair.

I’m not saying we should pity the young man. Steroid rumors haven’t stopped him from getting close to living out his dream of playing in the NFL. And they won’t stop him from signing a $15-18 million contract this summer either.

“We vetted the process really thoroughly,” Texans general manager Rick Smith said. “We feel really good about who he is as a man and who he is as an athlete and a player, and we’re excited about adding him to our football team.”

According to Brian, he has been working with a trainer since high school and he eats meals as prescribed by his nutritionist. He also added that he will keep on proving people that they are wrong about him. He told the media that his intensity and his strength are products of good genes and hard work.
