7:43 AM PT<\/strong> — Farley said in a video statement Wednesday he’s “feeling great” despite the positive test … adding he will not let COVID ruin one of the best moments of his life.<\/p>\n “I’m okay. I feel great,” Farley said. “I’m asymptomatic. I’m still in good spirit. I’m not going to let nothing and nobody ruin this week for me. This is a dream come true.”<\/p>\n Caleb Farley <\/strong>— a former Va. Tech star who’s expected to be a top 20 pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday — has tested positive for COVID and has now been barred from the league’s official party.<\/p>\n The DB’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus<\/strong>, made the announcement in a statement to Pro Football Talk<\/strong> on Wednesday … saying the 22-year-old is feeling fine, but will now not attend the NFL’s in-person draft event in Cleveland this week.<\/p>\n “Caleb Farley tested positive for Covid 19 yesterday on a test administered by the NFL,” Rosenhaus said.<\/p>\n “He is totally asymptomatic and feels completely normal. However, he won\u2019t be allowed to attend the draft in Cleveland.”<\/p>\n Farley had been just 1 of 13 former college football stars scheduled to be in Ohio for the annual selection process … so it’s obviously a big bummer for the CB.<\/p>\n But, Farley’s draft night should still be a memorable one nonetheless — he’s been projected by draft experts to possibly go as high as #9 overall to the Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n Farley — who opted to sit out the 2020 season over COVID concerns — played in 23 games in his 2-year career at Virginia Tech, logging six total interceptions.<\/p>\n
