NFL Mock Draft 2017: Predictions & Rumors for Top 10 Picks

No. 9 Cincinnati Bengals: LB Reuben Foster


School: Alabama


Position: Linebacker


Class: Senior


Outlook: Just as we spoke about Nick Saban's glowing review of Foster, he was sent home from the Combine for an incident with an Indianapolis medical staff member. Bleacher Report's Matt Miller reported he has not talked to anyone in the scouting community that has downgraded Foster because of the incident. One scout explained Foster's side of the story to Miller. "If you're standing in line for hours with no information and you're missing meetings with NFL teams, you're going to get heated. And the way we heard it, the guy working the exams was being an a-hole and trying to act like he runs the show. Reuben didn't like that and didn't want to miss meetings, so things got heated. He really shouldn't have been sent home for it," the scout told Miller. As it stands, the Bengals still need help at linebacker, and Foster's playing ability is as good as it gets. (Getty)
