After participating in the bench press on Friday, USC offensive lineman Tyron Smith abruptly has decided to drop out of the remainder of the Scouting Combine events.
Wow. One of the top rated OTs...may change round one -- depending on the reason. Stay tuned...

If it's not a medical reason, I'm guessing he's not on the Pats' board at #17 anymore. . . .

USC offensive tackle, Tyron Smith, who had been so impressive when he weighed in yesterday dropped out of the workouts today. He had an athroscopic procedure done on one of his knees recently and the knee had swollen up, so he’s not going to workout this weekend.
He will workout for the scouts at the USC Pro Day which will occur on March 30. He has plenty of time to show what he can do, so I don’t think he’ll be penalized for the delay.
He needed to show up a the wiegh-in, since there was some question with regard to his being too light. USC players seem to be able to gain a few pounds as needed.

Up above it says "out of the workouts."

Yep, and this nfl.com blog NFL.com Blogs Blog Archive USC tackle Smith pulls out of workouts
makes clear that he participated fully in all the non-workout parts of the event, so I'm going to change the thread title. "Drops out of combine" suggests an Andre Smith-style red flag.

He also addressed the media Friday and said he gained almost 30 healthy pounds by ditching fast food.
I'm not sure if that addresses the question about his weight, or opens up a dozen more I want to ask about it.
