Arden Key tells NFL teams he's been sober for longer than a year: report

Arden Key says he has been honest with NFL teams during the pre-draft process about the reason for his extended leave from the LSU football team last spring.

That reason, however, has not been made public. Key went longer than a year without conducting a media interview, choosing to stay silent until the NFL scouting combine in February.

During a later interview March 24 at a celebrity kickball game hosted by Tyrann Mathieu, Key said he was "being truthful" with teams about the reason for his leave from the LSU football team. "I"m not going to say to the media but I tell (NFL teams) everything they need to hear.
