Dorial Green-Beckham is speaking with the NFL about the league's revamped personal conduct policy, according to Sports Illustrated. Green-Beckham is reportedly weighing whether to declare for the 2015 NFL Draft, and the league's stance on domestic violence -- first-time offenders of the policy are given a minimum six-game suspension -- could sway the Oklahoma wide receiver to stay in college.

Green-Beckham was dismissed from Missouri last April after he allegedly pushed an 18-year-old woman down a flight of stairs during a burglary. He transferred to Oklahoma the following summer, and sat out this past season under redshirt. The upcoming NFL Draft will be the first for which he is eligible to enter. The NFL deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft is Jan. 15.
SI’s report contradicts Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops, who said Tuesday that he had been informed that Green-Beckham will be declaring for the draft. An automatic six-game suspension could hurt Green-Beckham’s draft value, however, never mind that he has not appeared in a game in more than a year.
Green-Beckham went to Missouri as one of the most highly-prized high school recruits entering college in 2012. He caught 28 passes for 395 yards and five touchdowns as a true freshman, before breaking out with 59 catches for 883 yards and 12 touchdowns as a sophomore. He was also arrested twice for marijuana possession during his tenure with the Tigers.
