I saw a piece this morning, can't remember where (maybe Yahoo?). They were discussing players skipping bowl games with "NFC North scouts" and asking if it's a red flag to NFL personnel types. The anonymous scouts reached a consensus that it's a case by case basis, and in the cases of Fournette and McCaffrey (no character issues) personnel folks won't be alarmed. On the other hand, Baylor's Shock Linwood (previous character issues) and Oklahoma's Charles Walker (devastating concussion) will come under much more scrutiny.
