On March 2, former Central Michigan tight end Tyler Conklin was getting ready to take reps on the bench press at the 2018 NFL Combine to show his skills to NFL scouts.
At the same time, there was a shooting at his former school, leaving two people dead on the fourth floor of Campbell Hall.
"I’ve heard about it a little bit," Conklin said to reporters at the NFL Combine. "I talked to a couple friends about it. There were only two casualties so far, praying for everybody back at school. I think it’s going to be OK.
