Texans WR Jaelen Strong Is Going to Drug School Thanks to Weed Arrest

Get your trapper keeper ready ... 'cause Houston Texans wide receiver Jaelen Strong is going back to school -- DRUG SCHOOL -- as part of the deal he cut in his weed arrest case.

As we previously reported, the former Arizona State standout was popped in Scottsdale back in February ... when cops found him trying to hide a bunch of joints in the crotch of his pants.

Strong was arrested and booked for possession of marijuana -- which carries a maximum sentence of 6 months in jail.

But Jaelen caught a break ... cutting a deal with prosecutors in which he agreed to enter a drug diversion program (an educational course that can take up to 6 months to complete) and undergo counseling ... and in exchange, officials will drop the case.

It's a good deal for Strong -- just make sure you don't skip class!
