LinkThe failed drug test at the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine won't help Randy Gregory, nor will his struggle to maintain the weight needed to play on the line of scrimmage in the NFL.
But the reason the Nebraska star is likely to drop on Thursday -- maybe out of the first round -- is much deeper than that.
At least three general managers view him as a top-five talent. But according to more than a dozen coaches, scouts, personnel chiefs and GMs, there is concern about Gregory's ability to handle the mental rigors of professional football.

That's the one thing about QB's in the NFL. Sometimes they take years to actually even come close to living up to their potential or they simply just never pan out. So many factors when it comes to making it especially at that position in the NFL. He was awesome in college obv. I loved the low turnover ratio more than anything about him. When there was talk of the Bears trying to trade up I wasn't necessarily stoked though. As much crap as Jameis gets rep wise he still seems like more of a prototypical future NFL QB to me.
