The NFL Draft is one of the biggest days when collegiate prospects can get the chance of a lifetime. It paved the way for athletes like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and more to show up and shine. But the big day might also involve some horrific and embarrassing moments. Former NFL athlete Marcellus Wiley explained the Draft Day horrors on his broadcast.

Marcellus Wiley recalls how he dealt during the private assessment, a component of the NFL Draft Procedure on his YouTube channel. The former NFL DE described how teams in the NFL employ former FBI agents to learn all they can regarding a draft prospect’s character and private life.

Wild things happen at the NFL Draft!

On his show, Marcellus Wiley explained, “Let’s start off here that they hire the FBI or former FBI detectives, and I notice for a fact, to find out information about draft prospects. We all know about the combine, and we all know about the crazy interviews; Especially yesteryear’s New York Giants interview where they ask you, Do you pee the bed? They ask you, Do you get nightmares? They ask you for your scariest thoughts, etc.

Wild Style further added that answering such embarrassing questions made him feel terrified. The agents also got hold of his habit of partying, which he found very interesting. They presented the query in a way that they either wanted to uphold what they were already conscious of or offered the prospect the chance and willingness to argue about it.

The former NFL Pro Bowler’s shift from the Fox Sports’ Speak For Yourself table to his YouTube channel might look strange. The athlete had a great gig running, but the FS1 and analyst parted ways. Why did the former athlete leave a big thing?

Why did Marcellus Wiley leave FS1?

It was surprising for many to see Marcellus Wiley leave Emmanuel Acho and the ‘Speak For Yourself’ show behind. Since then, the Ex-NFL athlete has had his own YouTube show and hosts the weekly More To It Podcast. Wiley also addressed his exit from Fox Sports.

While speaking in the Getcha Popcorn Ready with Terrell Owens and Matthew Hatchette, Wiley addressed his situation on leaving Fox. He mentioned getting disconnected from what he was working on and what they were doing. Wild Style added to the sense of being adrift. He also stated that the way Fox intended to change the show Speak For Yourself was not sounding like a good fit for him.

Wiley losing out on the Fox gig opened up more opportunities for her. Will he make more such appearances? It is subject to witness.
