Connecticut safety Obi Melifonwu displayed his athleticism again Wednesday at his campus Pro Day workout, with the Texans in attendance.
Melifonwu had a 4.09 short shuttle, a 10.69 long shuttle and a 7.05 L-drill. He excelled in positional drills at cornerback and safety and drew praise from NFL scouts for his explosiveness and acceleration.
The 6-4, 224-pound cornerback-safety ran a 4.40 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine where he registered a 44-inch vertical leap.
Melifonwu met with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday night. He's having lunch with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday. Melifonwu is scheduled to visit the Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks and New Orleans Saints.
