Rashad Fenton had to explain bowl absence at NFL Combine. Here’s what he told teams

As Rashad Fenton is hoping his NFL career is about to start, he’s answering questions about how his South Carolina career ended.

Fenton was asked by at least one pro team at the NFL Combine why he sat out the second half of the Gamecocks’ 28-0 Belk Bowl loss to Virginia.

“I just told them I injured myself. It’s part of the game, it’s nothing spectacular or different,” Fenton said.

Fenton started 12 games for South Carolina last season and led the Gamecocks with three interceptions, but after the Belk Bowl head coach Will Muschamp seemed uncertain why Fenton hadn’t played the final half of his college career, leading to speculation about the cause.
