Florida Gators offensive lineman Richard Gouraige went to Indianapolis to participate in all the drills at the NFL Scouting Combine. 

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to do that after undergoing the combine's "pain tolerance test" during medical exams. 

Gouraige reportedly woke up with a swollen ankle caused by the pain tolerance test, according to NFL Network. Because of that, Gouraige pulled himself out of the combine.

How that will affect Gouraige’s draft stock is unknown, but participating in the NFL Scouting Combine is the opportunity of a lifetime for prospects to show all 32 teams their skills before the April draft. Now that Gouraige can’t do that, his official visits will be even more crucial.

As of now, NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein gave Gouraige a prospect grade of 6.10, which is categorized as a "good backup with the potential to develop into a starter."

At 6-foot-5, 306 pounds, Gouraige is a versatile lineman, which helps his case in terms of where he may get drafted. He logged 42 starts combined at tackle and guard, though left tackle was his spot for the Gators these past two seasons.
