Haha no way he drops.

But what kind of idiot gets sent home from the Combine? No one's going to ask you to measure if it's against Dr's orders.

If you just had shoulder surgery and they want to measure your wingspan you won't get a full extension while you're still healing. Those numbers are critical to their draft stock.

This guy's being railroaded. We should take him with one of our 1st round picks.

No brainier, the real question is who are you taking with the other 2?

That's not necessarily true. I've read and heard a lot of stories from the combine about them being extremely rough with the players at their medicals. Gurley actually skipped getting checked at the combine because of it and I'm pretty sure I remember reading about someone getting hurt from them over twisting a hurt knee.

Which one #2, #17, or #28

I don't know what to do with him. He's my #1 rated player in a top tier with Allen, Garrett and Hooker. I like his nasty but this isn't nasty. It's just stupid.

You would think that a guy who played for Nick Saban, a man who prepares his players as well as any coach in the college game, would be smarter than this.

I love Foster's feistiness and aggression on the field. Clearly, he needs to learn how to better channel that off the field. The combine typically doesn't break a candidate, but this certainly won't help him.

The crazy thing is that the kid isn't even rich yet. If this is his attitude now, what's it going to be like after someone gives him a few million?

Saban is no doubt a great coach but he's been known to be very lenient when it comes to off the field issues. For instance Tim Williams is admitting to multiple failed drug test but was never suspended. How?

The drug test failure issue happens more than you would think. Gregory reportedly failed three tests at Nebraska, and never missed any time as well.

Sounds entitled before he has even taken a snap....

I hope he is picked before us because he has some great Mike LB talent and dont have to make that tough decision on him
