CLEVELAND — Early in the 2014 college football season, Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory was receiving favorable comparisons from scouts to Jadeveon Clowney and was being tossed around as a potential top-10 draft pick.
Instead, between his admission of excessive marijuana use and questions about his ability to gain weight and hold up against the run, Gregory was picked apart more than a roasted chicken during the draft process. His stunning plummet ended when the Cowboys finally selected him at No. 60 overall.
Last week, Gregory talked to Bleacher Report about the draft process, his family and his expectations as he took part in a youth football clinic during the NFL Rookie Symposium.
