Mental health concerns kept Cole Madison away from the NFL last season, but the 2018 fifth-round draft pick said the speculation that it was because of former Washington State teammate Tyler Hilinski's suicide was untrue.
Madison left the Green Bay Packers last summer after he went through offseason workouts. He was placed on the did not report list when training camp opened last July, but his return to the Packers on April 8 for the start of this year's offseason program came as a surprise.
"This last year was really just focused on myself," Madison said Tuesday in his first interview in nearly a year.
