Reuben Foster, linebacker, Alabama
Reuben Foster, the super-talented Alabama linebacker, got into what was referred to as a “heated altercation” with a hospital worker during the pre-exam phase of the combine medical exams. Foster and the hospital worker reportedly got face-to-face, and Foster was sent home and dismissed from the combine as a result.
After the fact, Foster’s agent sent out the following letter to NFL teams.

Heading into the combine, Foster was thought of as a talented linebacker with championship experience and a potential top-10 pick. He was expected to solidify himself as a 2017 draft superstar prospect with a strong showing at the combine.
Instead, he made one of the worst, if not the worst impression in NFL Combine history.
Alabama’s pro day may not be the last opportunity he gets to clear up his reputation. But facing the music and answering for his actions certainly can’t hurt him at this point.
