Former North Carolina running back Elijah Hood plans to run and participate in position drills at the Tar Heels’ pro day Tuesday after he was sidelined at the NFL scouting combine with a leg injury.
Hood told the Observer his hamstring – which he strained preparing for the combine – has healed and he expects to run the 40 and shuttle tests and go through running back drills for scouts and NFL personnel in Chapel Hill.
Hood, a former Charlotte Catholic star, measured 5-11 and 232 pounds at the combine and did 18 reps on the pro (225-pound) bench press.
