According to 247Sports' Blue & Gold Illustrated, Shembo addressed the 2010 case at Saturday's NFL Combine, saying he's not surprised when questions about the investigation arise from teams during interviews, despite his name being kept out of most press reports on the case.
"I just tell [NFL team executives] the truth, I have nothing to hide," Shembo reportedly said. "No one's heard from me one time. Do you go off of one person's story? I'm still here, so I know I didn't do anything. I tell them exactly what happened."
"It's all over the internet," Shembo continued. "Everyone that does the background check can type my name in and you'll see all the stuff that people have said about me and have never heard from my mouth."
