Falcons coach Mike Smith said he talked to rookie defensive tackle Ra’Shede Hageman about a post on Twitter that purported to show Hageman looking for marijuana via his Instagram account.
“I’ve had a conversation with Ra’Shede,” Smith said. “Like all my conversations (with players) I’d like to keep that between Ra’Shede and myself.”
A Twitter user on Sunday posted an image of what appears to be a screenshot of Hageman's Instagram account (rashede77). In the image, Hageman's account sent a direct message to another Instagram user asking the person if she smokes "weed" because "my teammates were looking for some."
Hageman told 680 The Fan that his Instagram account was hacked but that he didn’t want to discuss the issue in detail.
