DJ Chark lands big-time endorsement deal after incredible performance at NFL Combine

Ever since the end of the season, LSU WR DJ Chark has been skyrocketing up teams’ NFL Draft boards.

The ex-Tiger had a huge day at the Senior Bowl, and then followed it up with another great performance at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis over the weekend.

Now, all that work is paying off, as Chark tweeted on Monday afternoon that he has landed a Nike deal:

Last few days have been unreal and it just became even better!!! Officially a @Nike athlete! ✔️

Chark’s performances compared very favorably to several former LSU stars, making him stand out even more:

DJ Chark’s #NFLCombine results compared to @LSUFootball greats:

4.34 40 — faster than @OBJ_3 in 2014 (4.43)

16 bench reps — more than @God_Son80 in 2014 (12)

40'' vertical — higher than @P2 in 2011 (38'')

10'9'' broad — further than @Mathieu_Era in 2013 (9'9'')

Chark likely won’t rise all the way to round one, but he could work his way into the second round if he impresses once again in the LSU Pro Day.
