He had a horrible combine and scouts started to doubt if he had the size for defensive end or the speed for LB in the pros. Him being gay probably didn't help but big reasons he dropped were football related. After the combine he was predicted to go between 6th round and not drafted at all.
I'm glad he got picked up though and was hoping my team (the 49ers) would be the ones to get him. I feel like the presence of cake ruined an otherwise very touching moment.
