Source: Alabama's Foster not invited to draft

Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster was not invited to attend the 2017 NFL draft due to an incident that occurred at the NFL scouting combine in March, according to a league source.

The league declined to comment on Monday....

The NFL makes me laugh. They don't invite Mixon to the combine to make a statement, but they'll let his sorry ass into the league to make the opposite statement.

The NFL makes me laugh

I'm beyond that, by miles and miles. It's to the point I don't believe anything reported concerning the NFL. I read an article on rule changes. It's followed by, "I don't believe that!" So many teams put out things when approaching draft day I don't believe those reports until I actually see it come to pass.

Sort of funny to see people tweeting about Foster to New Orleans and then have a beat reporter, formally covering the Saints for Nola.com, say she has a source saying ... literally, within the same hour.

I'm not saying it's true, or false. I just don't believe what a circus this has become.

I don't believe I'm actually following this.

It's all about covering it up, yet allowing the back door to swing open. I used to think people gave Roger Goodell a hard time for no real reason other than suspending their favorite player, but with continued crap he allows, not promotes, but allows is just pathetic. He wants to look tough in the poublic appearances and all, yet let's some pretty bad citizens of this country continue to prosper while acting like total idiots. Adam "Pacman" Jones for one.

I saw a thread on another site about Foster appearing on ESPN's "NFL Insider's" and it doesn't appear that was a question asked. He's evidently making his rounds around ESPN today. I've yet to see a Bama writer, or any other NFL writer, mention this.

I saw this as well. I think his agent is behind this in efforts to get his face out there as a good guy leaving one last positive impression going into the draft. Hoping to forget about the little set back.

The first round guaranteed money for lower picks makes the effort worthwhile.

This is total BS. Missing the draft experience sucks especially being a 1st round pick.

This is amusing...from the OP's link.

As it ends up, we all missed this. Notice the date of the tweet.

OJ Howard must have told them he had something better to do.

Stupid stuff....but i doubt Ruben will care once that first check hits his direct deposit....

So about half of our projected 1st rounders weren't invited to the draft?

Folks just trying to manufacture headlines...more fake news.

I can personally see why a lot of projected first rounders in the past have chosen to be somewhere else. What a 3 ring circus.

Maybe you need to take a day on the DL; striking out a lot today.

I am not saying Foster will be a draft slide but why go, sit in a room and be one of the last ones waiting to be picked? Top ten pick? Go and have fun on the NFL's dime.
