Leslie Treff said:About, Ryan.---Don't know how many of you know, but his whole torso is literally covered with body art. This was commented upon by several scouts I was talking to at the Combine. It was not appreciated, and could actually affect where he goes in the draft. A tatoo here and there was not a problem, but he was covered and eyebrows were raised. I am not sure where he will go, but I did want to throw this into the mix as part of this discussion.
I think it depends on what came out of his interviews. If teams found out those were meaningful events in his life put into the form of body art--which he described to them in the interview--then I don't think there's any problem.
