Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster, a projected first-round pick, was not invited to attend the 2017 NFL Draft due to an incident during his medical checks at the combine in March, a source told ESPN's Katherine Terrell.

Foster was sent home from the combine after an argument with a doctor, where he reportedly grew frustrated with his wait and proclaimed, "do you know who I am?"

The league did not comment on Foster's lack of invitation and only said he was dismissed from the combine due to "personal reasons."

Foster also recently revealed that he received a positive result during drug testing at the combine due to a diluted urine sample, which he says was caused by drinking too much water in order to increase his weight.
