Dear Mr. Gettleman,
I’m sure you’ve heard the news by now. Jamal Adams needed to run the 40-yard dash at LSU’s Pro Day, and by the time he leaned through the finish, jaws were on the turf.
His first official attempt, at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis, wasn’t “him,” he said – and apparently that’s true. Adams’ 4.5-second mosey in March was a long way from Wednesday’s blazing-fast 4.33, by NFL testing standards. Chatter around the media contingent – and hoots from some NFL personnel and several LSU teammates – signaled Adams’ solidified case as a top-10 pick in this year’s NFL draft, with his chance at becoming a top-5 pick rising every day.
