Top linebacker prospect Reuben Foster was sent home from the scouting combine Friday after reportedly threatening a hospital worker and saying "do you know who I am?"

Foster commented on the incident during a live broadcast on Instagram Saturday, downplaying accusations of wrongdoing.

"Y'all, stop asking me what happened, for real," Foster said, according to Al.com's Michael Casagrande. "Nothing happened."

Reports suggest Foster became impatient waiting for an MRI and tried to jump the line. When he was told he had to wait his turn, Foster is alleged to have threatened a hospital worker.

Foster suggested other players present at the hospital will support his version of events.

"Talk to Tim (Williams)," Foster said. "Talk to Ryan (Anderson). Talk to Dalvin (Tomlinson). Them boys know. They were there."

Foster said he has the support of his agent and still has big things planned for the future.

"I'm chilling with my people right now," Foster said. "My agent backs me. I'm staying low. When I get my chance, I'm taking advantage of it. I'm telling you. That's all I know."
