Ryan Perrilloux - Combine Snub?

[TexasTerror]

Heard on the radio that Ryan Perrilloux got selected to the NFL combine...

Have not heard this anywhere else. Anyone got any information on why he was not selected (if he wasn't?)? I've seen a few web sites suggest that there are concerns about his past transgressions, but there have been other players like that with the skills that RP has, that have found their way into the NFL draft.

You think Ryan - combine or not - will get drafted?

Which website said he had a combine invite? He is not listed on the official combine website so I don't think he was given a late invite.

For the question about him getting drafted I could easily see it but he will need a good pro day to do that. Players without combine invites who have bad pro days just don't get drafted.

This is the last I heard about it:

As much as JSU administrators and coaches have said quarterback Ryan Perrilloux is going to the NFL Combine, the list of official invitees is out and Perrilloux is not on it.

It's shocking to some experts, including this poster on the internet:

"What a difference half a decade makes, 5 years ago Ryan Perrilloux out-dueled Mark Sanchez to secure his place as the #1 QB prospect entering college and by most major services the #1 prospect overall. After a red-shirt year and a spate of incidents ranging from the silly to the serious interrupted only by a few moments of brilliant play, Ryan Perrilloux in the Spring of 2008 left the orbit near the center of the football universe for a more remote and spartan outpost at Jacksonville State.

"Coach Jack Crowe is in many senses a 'central casting' football coach, a powerful presence with a Southern drawl and a (zero) tolerance for nonsense. I have had multiple conversations with Coach Jack Crowe and one brief one recently with Ryan Perrilloux as he prepared for Texas Versus the Nation. What is clear is that his talent is still there, his passion and commitment for football have greatly increased and he is now a much, much more mature young man, very different from the spoiled kid who did so many things wrong before.

"In a year where there are so few "plus arms" with Clausen, Pike, Jarrett Brown and Fordham's John Skelton being among the few who can drive the ball with authority on deeper routes the fact the perhaps the best arm in the NCAA will not be in Indianapolis is an absence that may prove conspicuous like an elephant in the room, who can throw a ball 70+ yards. "

Perriloux, for the most part, appears to have behaved himself at JSU and certainly has earned a shot at the NFL. But somebody appears to have it in for him - or he has some huge skeleton in his closet that we don't know about. It's the only explanation as to this snub and the non-waiver of APR violations at JSU that would have allowed him to play in the playoffs his senior year.
