During Monday’s star-studded University of Mississippi Pro Day workout, receiver Laquon Treadwell finally ran the 40-yard dash. Tackle Laremy Tunsil still hasn’t run it.
Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Tunsil most likely won’t be running the 40-yard dash at all before the draft. According to the source, Tunsil tweaked a hamstring last Thursday.
He participated in other drills, as the photo accompanying this item from Monday’s workout shows.
It’s unclear whether this will affect Tunsil. Long-time NFL scout Gil Brandt points out on Twitter that, in his 29 years with the Cowboys, the team never drafted a player without having confirmed times. But for Tunsil, who plays in a phone booth not on a drag strip, does it really matter if he can’t run?
Pushing it in an effort to check the box could make the injury even worse, making it harder to Tunsil to be a meaningful participant in offseason workouts. Given his circumstances, choosing not to run at all may be the smartest choice he could make.
