Coaches' combine conduct upsets Falcons owner

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank was disappointed in the conduct of two assistant coaches at the NFL scouting combine.

"Sure. Yeah. So was our coach," Blank told ESPN. "I think (head coach Dan Quinn has) dealt with both of them directly -- both of the position coaches where that took place -- and made our values clear and our culture clear to them and to the other coaches as well. I know it's not who we are and it's not who our coach is."

Secondary coach Marquand Manuel asked draft prospect Eli Apple about his sexual orientation while at the combine.
