Lamar Jackson Skips 40-Yard Dash At Pro Day
7 years agoLouisville quarterback Lamar Jackson did not run the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine and also chose not to run it as his school's Pro Day after throwing nearly 60 passes on Thursday. “Game speed is going to tell it all,” Jackson told Mike Mayock of NFL Network. “You’ve got to catch me first.” Jackson is a superior athlete, and some scouts believe he's best suited as a receiver at the next level, and he's garnering comparisons to former quarterback/wideout Kordell Stewart. Jackson insists he's a quarterback, though, but it'll be interesting to see what the team that drafts him plans to do with him.
