And this kind of thing is fairly common before the draft.

Prospects often end workouts once they're happy with where (they think) they're going to go. And they frequently just refuse to work out with teams they don't want to draft them.
It's also not exactly unheard of for other agents or GMs to "leak" information to make guys look bad.
This information is being reported as coming from MPJ's agent, but the reporter doesn't seem to have talked to him directly. It's second- or third-hand info and could easily be a team trying to jockey for position (either to get MPJ to fall to them, or maybe even the team that wants him, hoping they can convince other teams to trade up for someone else, then they'd pick MPJ, the guy they want, with a later pick).
