MOBILE, Ala. — Scouts from five different NFL teams circled Jeremy Sprinkle as the sun set over Ladd-Peebles Stadium on Tuesday. The questions were uncomfortable. So were the answers.
“I went to check out…” the former Arkansas tight end said, and the scouts started scribbling on their notepads. Their bosses all will want to know exactly why Sprinkle got sent home from the Belk Bowl before the Razorbacks played Virginia Tech. They’ll get their explanation, but it likely will lead to more questions. Come draft day, Sprinkle will have to hope a mistake he made in late December won’t cost him millions.
