    Alabama's Dee Milliner, projected by all NFL.com experts to be the top cornerback taken in April's 2013 NFL Draft, will have surgery for a torn labrum in his right shoulder after this weekend's NFL Scouting Combine, Albert Breer of NFL Network and NFL.com reports. This according to a source who's spoken with Milliner.

    Milliner will still perform every drill at the combine except for the bench-press, according to ESPN.com.

    The cornerback suffered the injury during his final season at Alabama and played through it during Crimson Tide's title run.

    Milliner emerged in 2012 after playing behind other NFL-bound stars at Alabama like Dre Kirkpatrick, Dont'a Hightower and Mark Barron in 2011.
