Shortly after the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Dede Westbrook in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft on Saturday, ESPN analyst Todd McShay reported that the Oklahoma wideout was booted from one of his 15-minute combine interviews.

Word of that report got back to Westbrook who addressed the matter shortly thereafter.

"I don't think I was necessarily kicked out of a combine interview," Westbrook said, as per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.

When further pressed on what exactly happened in the interview, the 2016 Biletnikoff Award winner replied, "I have no idea."

Westbrook finished fourth in Heisman voting last season, and finished the season with an astounding 1,524 yards receiving and 17 touchdowns. His talent is undeniable, but he certainly comes with questions about his character after multiple accusations of domestic violence.
