Randy Gregory hasn’t had the best build up to the 2015 NFL Draft. In fact, if it wasn’t for Shane Ray’s citation for marijuana a couple days ago, Gregory would probably have had the definitive worst build up to the draft this offseason.
Gregory’s ongoing struggle with marijuana use is seen in poor light by personnel evaluators across the NFL. The kid has talent, that can’t be denied, but his off the field concerns continue to manifest themselves and cause teams to second guess his athletic potential. A raw prospect, Gregory was never going to come in and be immediately pro ready, but he was more than capable of coming in and playing, relying on athleticism and instincts to compete.
