Former South Carolina offensive lineman Zack Bailey just wanted to run.
He’s five months removed from a broken leg and damaged ankle. His NFL Combine work was limited not because he couldn’t run, but just because he had not run. He got to correct that Thursday during South Carolina’s Pro Day at the Jerri & Steve Spurrier Football Indoor Practice Facility.
“When you break your leg and you become immobile, you realize how much you depend on your legs,” Bailey said. “And so just being able to run, being able to get back, being able to show I’m full go, being able to do O-line drills, show that I have no pain, no soreness.
