Reporter Who Asked Ohio State CB Jeff Okudah About 'Sloppy Play' at NFL Combine Fired by His Employer

Remember the ins and outs of this year's NFL Combine? Of course you do! Some players jumped high, some players stretched, Rich Eisen did it all in a full business suit. Typical shenanigans that'll impact draft stock for months to come.

Oh, and one wayward blogger asked Ohio State's Jeff Okudah about his own sloppiness, and set the entirety of the press conference off course. That, too, was memorable.

Predictably, about a week after he caused the wrong kind of uproar, said writer has been let go.

After a 4.48-second 40, one man from a blog called The Scorecrow decided to ask Okudah about his tendency toward sloppy techique instead of his recent accomplishments. That set the OSU product off on the warpath.

The writer responsible for the impassioned defense, Pranav Rama, doubled down the next day, even after Okudah used specific evidence to disprove his thesis. This likely only made the decision to dismiss him easier.

Rama himself claimed that he resigned his position, but it seems as if that wasn't accurate.

It's a solid rule of thumb to stay as low-impact as possible at events like the Combine, where the NFL's future stars are entirely on edge about their personal performance. It's also a solid rule of thumb to never use your media access to explicitly ask players why they're so bad. Seems like the right decision was made here.

Okudah handled the whole situation like a champion from top to bottom, though. More high marks for sure.
