This isn't a good look during the biggest scouting weekend of the NFL Year.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Friday night that Alabama star linebacker Reuben Foster had to be sent home from the NFL Combine after getting into an argument with a hospital worker.

More details have since emerged on exactly what happened.

Foster warned the man that he'd put hands on him, and the employee said, simply, Do it.

You generally don't hear about players being sent home from the Combine, and it isn't a good look for Foster at all.

The good news for Foster, though, is that his talent outweighs one mishap at the Combine. He will still be a first round pick in the upcoming Draft, but this could cause some uneasy for teams if he doesn't impress in future interviews.
