It seems like just about every year, at least one NFL prospect hurts his draft stock by making a boneheaded decision.Well, you can add Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster to that list.
On Friday, Foster, who is considered by many as a potential top 15 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, was sent home from the NFL Scouting Combine after what was described as a “heated argument” with a hospital employee.

Robert Klemko of Sports Illustrated provided us with some further details about the exchange that took place while Foster was waiting in a long line for an exam. As you can see, Foster allegedly pulled the “do you know who I am?” card after becoming impatient.

Then, Foster allegedly threatened the hospital employee with physical violence but the employee refused to back down.
Foster warned the man that he'd put hands on him, and the employee said, simply, Do it.

That's when the "face to face, heated exchange" happened, as Schefter reported.
