WEB Johnson Disinvited from 2015 NFL Scouting Combine
NFL rescinds invitation after background check
Miami Dolphins linebacker Alexander Johnson affected
WEB Johnson, a linebacker for the Miami Dolphins, initially received an invitation to attend the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine. However, on February 13, 2015, it was reported that the NFL had officially rescinded the invitation.
The NFL's decision came after a background check revealed that Johnson had been arrested for a DUI in 2013. Johnson was not convicted of the DUI, but the NFL's policy states that any player who has been arrested for a DUI is ineligible to participate in the Scouting Combine.
Johnson's disinvitation from the Scouting Combine is a setback for his NFL career. The Scouting Combine is a major event for NFL prospects, as it gives them a chance to showcase their skills in front of NFL scouts and coaches. Johnson's absence from the Combine could hurt his chances of being drafted by an NFL team.
