CJ Conrad sent home from NFL combine with heart issue

Doctors ruled the former Kentucky tight end ‘medically disqualified’ from combine activities on Friday afternoon after they heard something abnormal in his heart during a physical. Conrad said the news came as a complete shock, and that he has never had any heart problems in the past.

He is already on his way back to Lexington, where he will go through further testing to determine the problem. He hopes he will be cleared to participate in UK’s Pro Day on March 22 in Lexington.

I feel like I’ll be fine and overcome this,” Conrad told KSR.
