Kentucky tight end C.J. Conrad leaves NFL Combine after discovery of medical problem

C.J. Conrad’s time at the NFL Combine was cut short because of a medical problem discovered during examinations leading up to his media availability and participation in combine drills on Friday.

The University of Kentucky confirmed a report from Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones that Conrad had left the combine because of a medical condition discovered during his pre-combine physical. Jones tweeted Friday that it was a “heart issue.”

Mike Conrad, C.J.’s father, told the Herald-Leader that the family doesn’t know all the details of Conrad’s condition. C.J. has a follow-up appointment scheduled for Monday in Lexington.
