Malcolm Kelly Apologizes for Rant, Schedules New Workout ... but Scouts Can't Attend


Word on the street is that former Oklahoma wide receiver Malcolm Kelly is a swell guy, and that there may be some truth to the accusations that the Sooners staff didn't go out of their way to help him during his workout for NFL scouts. But, well, he still comes off looking like a baby.

Which probably has something to do with Kelly going on the radio and apologizing rant. He's also scheduled another workout, this time in Atlanta, and under the direction of former Green Bay Packers wideout Boyd Dowler. Great, right? Not exactly. From Hashmarks' Matt Mosley:
But here's the catch: No NFL scouts will be allowed in the building. Dowler, who's in the Packers Hall of Fame, will send video and information from the workout to all 32 NFL teams and various media outlets.
Come again? Look, I get the public apology, and rescheduling the workout seems like a smart move ... but no NFL scouts? Um, why even go through the trouble? It's like going to a job interview but requesting that nobody from the company you're interested in working for can be in the room. I think that only makes sense for peep-show employees.

Mosley thinks a lot of scouts will be highly suspicious of the move, and suggests that Kelly should set up as many private workouts as possible. Or -- and this is out there, I know -- he could just make his next workout accessible to the guys trying to hire him.
