Cephus said after his disappointing time at the combine, he made some adjustments to his sprinting style and concentrated on doing the little things to improve his time - even though he believes his game speed is plenty fast to set him up for NFL succes s. "When I was there, I was just thinking I was going to be free and run. But my style of running is to stand straight up, so I went back and gave myself a couple cues to help me stay down, and I was able to run better, as we know," Cephus said. "I was t hankful for that." Cephus also seems to have effectively answered teams' questions about the sexual assault allegations for which he was acquitted in August.The charges led to his suspension from the team for the entire 2018 season and his expulsi on from school before the not guilty verdict allowed him to be reinstated. Asked Friday how he answered personnel executives' questions about the incident and ensuing experience, Cephus replied, "A lot of the questions I got were how did I handle adversi ty - because I had a lot of it. Who were my go-to people and how did I go through it and how did it shape me. "Everybody did their research on me, and they know the kind of man that I am. They just wanted to hear me open up and really get to know me just by listening to how I present myself. It wasn't that challenging. I enjoyed sharing my story." - Journal Sentinel

Wisconsin is losing its top running back and now its top wide receiver to the NFL. Quintez Cephus announced Monday on Twitter and Instagram that he will skip his senior season to enter the NFL draft. "I'm excited to put my name in for the draft and to ha ve a chance to play at the highest level,” Cephus said. The announcement came three days after record-setting junior tailback Jonathan Taylor announced his decision to enter the draft. The 6-foot-1, 207-pound Cephus led Wisconsin in receptions (59), re ceiving yards (901) and touchdown receptions (seven) in 2019. Cephus missed the final five games of the Badgers' 2017 campaign because of a broken right leg and did not play at all in 2018 after being expelled from school following sexual assault charges . Cephus was acquitted by a jury in August, reinstated by school officials and was ruled academically eligible for 2019. - AP College Football

Quintez Cephus has been through a lot. The junior wide receiver missed the final five games of Wisconsin's 2017 campaign because of a broken right leg and did not play at all last year after being expelled from school following sexual assault charges. Ce phus was acquitted by a jury last month, reinstated by school officials and was ruled academically eligible for last week's opener at South Florida. After hauling in only three catches for 39 yards in the Badgers' 49-0 victory last week, the Georgia nati ve finally had his breakout game at Wisconsin. Cephus scored his first two touchdowns of the season, Jonathan Taylor rushed for three touchdowns and caught another, and No. 17 Wisconsin cruised past Central Michigan 61-0 in its home opener Saturday. - AP College Football

The attorney for former Wisconsin football player Quintez Cephus says university officials are sending a "clear message" they don't want the former Badgers wide receiver back despite his acquittal in a sexual assault case. Attorney Stephen Meyer said Mon day that discussions have collapsed. University spokeswoman Meredith McGlone said Monday she couldn't comment due to privacy rules. Cephus filed a petition for readmission last week, just days after a jury found him not guilty of sexually assaulting two students who said he had raped them. Meyer says the university has made clear it won't make a decision until "well after the semester has started." - AP College Football
