Donte Jackson lowers already-fast 40 time at LSU pro day

Donte Jackson opted to run the 40-yard dash at the LSU football pro day after all.

By doing so, the LSU cornerback posted a better time than what he did at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

Jackson's 4.31-second time at the LSU pro day Wednesday (April 4) was just a shade lower than the 4.32-second time he posted March 5 at the combine. That combine time tied him with Tulane's Parry Nickerson and Ohio State's Denzel Ward as the fastest among all players.

Jackson said March 26 while at a celebrity kickball game hosted by Tyrann Mathieu at the Shrine on Airline he might opt not to run the 40 at the pro day because multiple scouts said he showed a good enough time at the combine.
