Former Alabama LB Reuben Foster not invited to the NFL Draft

Reuben Foster is one of the NFL Draft prospects who needs to have a big pro day

Long considered a lock to go in the top five, former Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster has seen his stock take a major tumble in the week leading up to the event. Earlier in the year, Foster was sent home from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis after getting into a heated argument with a hospital worker. Then, last week, reports surfaced that Foster tested positive for a diluted urine sample at the combine itself.

Now potentially set to fall completely out of the first round, Foster has not been invited to the draft in Philadelphia this week.

“Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster was not invited to attend the 2017 NFL draft because of an incident at the NFL scouting combine in March, ESPN’s Katherine Terrell reported on Tuesday.

As Terell notes, the non-invite stems from the aforementioned altercation in Indy earlier this year. Though, there’s surely reason to believe that the NFL bypassed on inviting this former All-American linebacker because of how bad it would look if he were still in the green room waiting for his named to be called following Thursday’s first round.
