John DeShazier: Tulane's Ade Aruna trying to make lasting impression on NFL scouts

The Tulane defensive end only has been playing football for five, six years, compared to players who have been in the game since they were five or six years old.

There’s a gap to close, so it’s probably a good thing that he ran an impressive 4.6-40 at the NFL Combine, and continued to attempt to impress NFL personnel Tuesday in the Oschner Sports Performance Center during Tulane’s Pro Day.

Aruna was one of eight Tulane players from last years’ team, plus several former Tulane players and players from other local colleges and universities, attempting to make a lasting impression on the scouts and front office personnel in attendance.
