The NFL Scouting Combine has seen plenty of strange stories, but this may be a first. Former San Diego State running back Adam Muema left after getting a message from God that he would play for the Seattle Seahawks.

Sources said Tuesday afternoon that Aztecs coaches haven't spoken to Muema since he left Indianapolis. Neither have others tasked with assisting the 21-year-old in the draft process.
A San Diego State spokesman did not return messages seeking comment.
“I have no idea where is,” a person close to Muema said. “(San Diego State coaches) have been trying to track him down, too. Every time they do, his phone is off. ... It's a frustrating deal.”
