LSU LB runs fast

March 14, 2016

LSU LB runs fast pro day 40 … Normally we don’t get to excited about reports that so-and-so ‘ran faster at his pro day than at the combine.’ Usually when one looks a little deeper either the actual improvement is say from 4.86 to 4.78 which is simply likely due to differences in electronic versus hand-timing (and the new time isn’t all that good anyway) or everyone from the school is running faster than their combine times which again suggests something to do with either the timing or the track. However, LSU is reporting at this hour that OLB Deion Jones ran a couple of sub-4.4 40s at the Tigers’ pro day this afternoon. That’s a full 2-tenths faster than his official combine clocking of 4.59. We reserve judgement upon confirmation, but even if Jones cut a tenth of his Indy time, that’s fast for a LB. Stay tuned!
