Him having "poor interviews" during the combine does help make the letter he wrote to the Players Tribune much more sense. As a way to clear up any perceptions or misconceptions he have heard whispers about.

During his few public interviews at the combine on youtube, he did seem to come off very cocky. That may have rubbed some GM's/Coaches the wrong way after his injury filled year that didn't "meet NFL scout's expectations".

Also, saying things like his favorite play is a direct hand off because it's the ball in his hands immediately, could have raised eyebrows for the more traditional coaches.

Now none of this is confirmation. But reading between the lines, it could make some sense. I don't remember who, but doesn't one of the Jags posters live in Denver and is friends with his family? Maybe he knows something?
