Prospective NFL players are doing everything they can to be noticed at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, but one player has removed himself from the event.
Running back leaves NFL Combine, claims he’s ‘following God’
One NFL hopeful is taking a different approach to the league, claiming God told him to leave the NFL Scouting Combine.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
San Diego State running back Adam Muema left citing "religious reasons," claiming he was told by God that if he elected not to work out he would ultimately play for the Seattle Seahawks, according to a report from UT San Diego.
Muema will be available during San Diego State's Pro Day in March and teams will not see the projected mid-round running back before that time. He believes he's received a message, but it's hard to see where he'll slot in on a team already boasting Marshawn Lynch and 2013 second-round pick Christine Michael.
The report links Muema to “Lord Ray-El” a man claiming to be the second coming of Christ.
