Adam Muema Leaves NFL Combine Because He was 'Following God'; San Diego State Running Back Says, 'Can't Go Wrong with God'

San Diego State running back Adam Muema made the decision not to do any drills Sunday at the NFL Combine because he says God told him not to do them. Since then the young player has been getting a lot of criticism for his choice but he makes no apologies for it.

 The NFL Scouting Combine is a week-long showcase where college football players perform in front of National Football League coaches, general managers, and scouts. For some, it is a time to shine and put their best forward. A quarterback not throwing at the combine is pretty common but what is unheard of is a player who does not participate because God told him not to.

According to UT San Diego, Muema states he was "following God," who told him if he missed workouts, he'd play for the team of his "dreams" the Seattle Seahawks.

NFL teams are aware of the ex-Aztec players decision but he says, "Can't go wrong with God." 

"(God) told me to sit down, be quiet, and enjoy the peace," he continued.

Muema's deep spiritual convictions is something he is very open about. Those around him are well aware of his religious beliefs and they are very evident on social media. He frequently quotes scripture on his Twitter and Instagram accounts.

Critics who did not understand the young man's choice quickly took to criticize his faith. Muema who often quotes from the Bible is unfazed though because of his unrelenting love for Christ.

"Yes, you guys are right I am crazy, crazy in love with Jesus it is the sweetest name I know," the running back tweets.

One follower apparently amused with Muema's decision inquired, "When God talks to you, what does it sound like?"

To which the player responded, "Sounds like the Bible. With a confirmation of a Holy Spirit chill down the crown of my head to my spine."

Whether Muema heard correctly or not the NFL has yet to announce, but the San Diego player is in full faith. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart!" he posts.

In 2013, rushed 256 times for 1,244 yards and 15 touchdowns before declaring for the draft last month as an early-entry junior. Prior to his entry, the NFL Draft Advisory Board projected he'd be a fourth to seventh-round pick, a source said.
