Marcell Dareus is not expected to run the 40-yard dash at the University of Alabama’s Pro Day on Wednesday, while Heisman Trophy-winning running back Mark Ingram may not participate in anything but the 40, their respective agents told tidesports.com.
Dareus, the former Crimson Tide defensive lineman who is expected to be chosen in the top 10 of the National Football League Draft on April 28-30, recorded a 4.93-second 40-yard dash at 319 pounds last month at the NFL Combine workout in Indianapolis - good enough to pass on the event on Wednesday. Pro Day draws representatives from every NFL club to watch draft-eligible players perform a variety of drills and physical tests. In order to protect their lofty draft status, top prospects such as Dareus often will perform at Pro Day only in events that they expect to improve on from their combine results.
