Shonn Greene Has Solid Showing At Iowa Pro Day

When the top running backs for the 2009 draft are identified, Iowa’s Shonn Greene often is overlooked. His Pro Day workout could change that. Per a league source, 29 teams attended Greene’s session. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.50 and 4.54 seconds. His vertical leap was 39 inches, a two-inch improvement over his Scouting Combine performance. Greene launched a 10'6" broad jump, good for a five-inch improvement. He pushed up 23 reps in the 225-pound bench press, a four-rep improvement over his Combine performance. Per the source, the 227-pounded looked explosive and agile in running back drills. Greene opted to sacrifice his final year of eligibility at Iowa and enter the NFL draft.
