Randy Gregory Reacts to Being Last Prospect in 2015 NFL Draft Green Room

Former Nebraska star pass-rusher Randy Gregory was thought to be a first-round talent in the 2015 NFL draft. However, off-field issues caused Gregory's stock to plummet, leaving him as the last prospect in the green room at Auditorium Theatre in Chicago before finally coming off the board to the Dallas Cowboys with the 60th overall pick, per the NFL.

After not hearing his name called in the first 32 picks, Gregory expressed his frustration to NFL Network's Melissa Stark, per NFL Media insider Ian Rapoport:

Yahoo Sports' Rand Getlin had more of what Gregory had to say about how the beginning of the draft unfolded:

Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk reported more from Gregory on some of the emotions he faced as the draft unfolded:

"

“Obviously I wanted to be drafted early. That’s the main goal. I honestly think I’m elite. But I also have problems. I have some issues I’m taking care of, and those I think are up in the air, obviously, because I haven’t been picked yet,” Gregory said on ESPN.

Gregory didn’t say what those “problems” and “issues” are.

Pro Football Talk noted from ESPN's Ed Werder noted the perspective of some around the league:

After finally being selected, Albert Breer of NFL Network reported Gregory's excitement:

Breer offered logical analysis as to why Gregory fell so far:

Per ProFootballTalk.com's Mike Florio, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Gregory didn't show up for multiple predraft meetings with teams. Absences from those critical commitments couldn't have helped Gregory's draft stock.

Bleacher Report expert Matt Miller had Gregory No. 9 overall on his final big board, which is indicative of how good Gregory's raw physical skills are.
