.”Ole Miss DE Robert Nkemdiche
In December, the former No. 1 overall prospect fell from a fourth-floor window of an Atlanta hotel and was subsequently charged with marijuana possession. During a combine media session, Nkemdiche admitted to being drunk during the incident but denied marijuana use. Then, oddly enough, Nkemdiche said teammate and potential No. 1 overall pick Laremy Tunsil was in the hotel room with him that night.
Nkemdiche, a potential first-rounder, seems to concern scouts more than Bosa, but less than Spence, due in part to his apparent honesty during the interview process.
“When you sit and talk to the kid, you say, ‘Okay, he does want to be really great,’ ” said one evaluator. “I believe him when he’s talking. I’m sure he’s been coached up—they’ve all been coached up—but I never felt like this kid was bulls---ing us.
The major concern shared by four coaching and scouting sources who have studied Nkemdiche is Robert’s older brother, Denzel, a former reserve linebacker at Ole Miss. Denzel was hospitalized twice in 2015 after being found unresponsive. Ole Miss called it a “personal matter.” Nkemdiche has assured multiple NFL teams during interviews that his brother will not be joining him at his NFL destination.
“People are worried about the brother,” said one evaluator. “That’s the biggest fear. How do you say no to family? People so easily say it should be easy decision because there’s a lot of money at stake. Well, you don’t throw away 20 years of brotherhood.”
Said another scout: “The bottom line with him is people around him enabling him, not a lot of real trouble. The public opinion on him is a little harder than it should be. There’s some smoke here but no big fire

I didnt. I thought he was a train looking for a place to wreck. I was wrong.

Honey Badger played with his hair on fire, admitted his issues and sought help.
Nkemdiche has done none of these.
