NFL Notes: Combine, Buccaneers, Chiefs, Raiders, & Steelers

Combine

Lindsey Jones of USA Today reported Monday evening that players with convictions for domestic violence, sexual assault or weapons offenses won’t be allowed to participate in this year’s Scouting Combine.

It is important for us to remain strongly committed to league values as we demonstrate to our fans, future players, coaches, general managers, and others who support our game that character matters,” NFL’s executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent wrote in the memo.

This rule would have prevented Seahawks DE Frank Clark from participating in the event last year.
