10. <p>The third Ole Miss player taken in the first round, Nkemdiche doesn’t come without baggage.  In fact, his position in the draft would be higher had he not been suspended for possession of marijuana before the Sugar Bowl.</p> <p>He’s going to have to explain himself to scouts and GMs at the scouting combine, but no answer will excuse the infraction, and in a league more focused on player conduct than ever before it will have real repercussions.</p> <p>However, the talent cannot be ignored.  He has the ability to get into the backfield and make plays all day.  Putting him on a defensive line with J.J. Watt and under the tutelage of consummate professional Vince Wilfork should set the youngster up for success.</p>. DT. Ole Miss. Robert Nkemdiche. 22. player
