WRAL's Chris Lea spoke with former St. Augustine's linebacker Durrell Nash. A NFL combine he was hoping would help his chances of playing professionally was canceled due to the coronavirus outbreak.
FOR A YEAR IS NOT OFF THE TABLE AS AN OPTION. AGAIN AS OF RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING GOES ON AS NORMAL UNTIL A DECISION OFFICIAL DECISION HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED. THE NFL MADE A DECISION TO HOLD A COMBINE THIS YEAR BUT THAT WAS CANCELED DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS. ONE OF THE ATHLETES IMPACTED BY THIS WAS LINEBACKER DURELL MADS, AND MANY OTHER FOOTBALL PLAYERS, THIS WAS THERE ONE SHOT TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION FOR NFL SCOUTS. NOW IT'S BEEN TAKEN AWAY. >> IT DOES TAKE A TOLL MENTALLY BECAUSE THIS IS EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN WORKING FOR, BUT IT'S HARD TO DEAL WITH I WILL LOSE MY SHOT AND MY FOOT IN THE DOOR. I GUARANTEE THAT THEY WILL FIND SOMEBODY WHO CAN'T WORK AS HARD
