Shane Ray saw his draft stock rise with the admission of Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory regarding his marijuana use. It almost became a primary theme around the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine. We were all blown away by the blatant stupidity of Gregory, failing to manage his schedule so his marijuana use didn’t overlap with the combine and it didn’t steal the attention away from his excellent potential.
Shane Ray must not have learned from Gregory.
Everything was going his way so far this offseason. While it would have been shocking to see him taken as the first edge rusher this year, Ray was a top-15 lock and a possible top-10 pick.
