The NFL Scouting Combine had its first off-field altercation Friday when Atlanta Falcons defensive line coach Bryan Cox shoved an Arizona Cardinals scout, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
The incident occurred after Cox’s time ran out when interviewing a player, who was then steered by the Cardinals scout to the Arizona interview room. Cox first yelled at the scout before shoving him, though that marked the end of it, per Florio.
“I intend to apologize to the young man for the incident that happened last night during the interview process,” Cox said, per Florio.
