Billy Price Optimistic About Recovery, Keeping A Positive Mindset After Suffering Injury at NFL Scouting Combine

INDIANAPOLIS – Although Billy Price’s opportunity to impress NFL scouts this week ended early, the former Ohio State center isn’t letting that get him down.

After months of training to put his best foot forward at the NFL Scouting Combine, Price suffered an incomplete tear of his left pectoral muscle while participating in the bench press on Thursday, leaving him unable to participate with the rest of the offensive linemen in on-field workouts on Friday.

Instead of going home and sulking about the injury, however, Price continued to meet with NFL teams on Thursday night and met with the media on Friday morning, explaining that he did not want to hide from the situation and instead continue to take advantage of every opportunity to make a positive impression that he still could.
