[sharonorn]

Questions about Nebraska pa s rusher 's failed drug test at the NFL have been enough to muddle Mike Piazza Jersey his draft projections. Now, an NFL scout has added something else to the list of concerns about Gregory: his effort level in the Cornhuskers' final game of the season.In discu sing the effort of prospects in bowl games, that, unlike Wisconsin running back , Gregory didn't play as hard as he should have in Nebraska's 45-42 lo s to Southern Cal in the Holiday Bowl."I like him," the scout said of Gordon and his 251-yard performance in a 34-31 win over Auburn in the Outback Bowl. "Guys like Randy Gregory shut it down in bowl games. Gordon Devin Mesoraco Jersey played one of his better games the last game of the year (against Auburn). I think he likes the game."If Gregory did give his best effort in Zack Wheeler Jersey the game, the box score . Gregory recorded four tackles, two a sisted, and had zeroes acro s the rest of his stat line. And it's not as though he didn't have many opportunities -- USC piled up 22 first downs and attempted 39 pa ses on its way to 515 total yards.Whether Gregory was healthy is somewhat of a question, however.Interim coach Barney Cotton indicated before the bowl game that Gregory after mi sing the team's last regular season game. Yet Matt Harvey Jersey just four days before the game, Gregory said he had played with a toe injury throughout the season: "You don't want to see my big toe -- it' Noah Syndergaard Jersey s that me sed up," .Injured or not, at least one scout didn't see what he hoped to see from Gregory in the Cornhuskers' bowl lo s.For Gregory's sake, it's a sentiment that doesn't need to permeate in too many scouting departments.*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter *
