Eagles GM denies there was an altercation with Derrius Guice

In what was among the most shocking draft-day slides in recent NFL history, former LSU running back Derrius Guice — considered by many to be a top-20 pick — fell to the Washington Redskins with pick No. 59 on Friday night.Following that selection, reports surfaced that Guice’s fall was primarily due to what teams perceived to be maturity issues on the running back’s part.

This comes on the heels of Guice denying said allegations.“It did surprise me because a lot of the things came out of nowhere and weren’t true,” Guice said on a conference call, via ESPN. “I just didn’t understand why me, out of all people, because I’m great to everybody.
